At BeGenio – Easy Maths Skills, we have developed a new, exciting, fun Maths Board Game, fun maths programmes and workshops that help children love Maths, build confidence, enjoy maths more, increase their proficiency in maths and reduce mathematical anxiety.
Our mission is to turn maths into a game that every child will love to play every time, because our founder is passionate about paying forward the support her father gave her in Maths when she was 10-years old. This game, Race To Infinity was developed to combat the problems that we see affecting children and parents where Maths is concerned. We’ve been in this arena of maths games for kids since 1997 and the 3 most common problems we found are that many children:
PROBLEM
1. Hate Maths, don’t see the point in doing it, or find it a boring chore.
2. Don’t believe they can get good at it. (Usually because they’ve been inadvertently told that by a parent or a teacher).
3. Do not have effective, creative, fun methods of doing maths at school and at home. Sadly, many children experience low self-esteem and low self-confidence as a result, which can affect their life and future. The bigger problem is that many parents are afraid of maths themselves and don’t know how to help their children. Teachers also don’t have the effective resources they need to help children master maths in a fun, easy way. SOLUTION We created this board game to solve these problems, where teachers/parents and children will be able to play together without stress, pain or struggle. Teachers and parents can now help their children effectively and make a positive difference in their children’s lives, without the fear of not knowing enough maths or the fear of confusing the child with old methods.
BENEFITS
Benefits of this board game are summarised below: – truly fun – very engaging – very entertaining – children learn and improve their maths skills without realising they are learning – develops analytical skills – develops decision making skills – develops critical thinking skills – develops creative thinking skills – develops logic – develops social skills and interaction skills – extensible to make the game harder or easier – covers the most fundamental parts of the curriculum, including the multiplication Timestable and the other three operations. – has expansion decks that can be increased or created on the fly to teach literally anything else. – has maths tricks and shortcuts expansion decks that make calculations lightning-fast for children. Our board game was specifically designed in such a way that when children are using it they think are playing, but not realising they are actually learning.
DEMONSTRATIONS & TESTIMONIALS
Over 260 play test demonstrations in schools, tuition centres and homes in the UK with tremendous results; – 400 fantastic testimonials from teachers, parents, children, head teachers, heads of Maths/Maths co-ordinators and parents. – We have also tested this game in a Special Needs school in the UK with autistic children and they were very engaged in the game for 40 minutes solid.
DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GAMES
The main differences between the Race To Infinity™ game and others are:
1. Excellent, true replayability value that keeps children coming back to want to play over and over again, hence perfectly disguising that they are learning maths and practising and developing all the time.
2. Expandable to include more mental maths, mental tricks and any other set of cards to teach anything and any other subject or topic; even if on the fly.
3. Older and younger children, maths-lovers and maths-phobics struggling with maths, and adults and young children can play together, without any groups or players feeling left out.
4. Two different Levels – Level 1 and Level 2
5. It’s not just a maths game; it was specifically designed to also teach and develop strategy, decision-making, problem-solving, logic, analytical thinking, deductive reasoning, critical thinking, creative thinking skills and related crucial life skills.
With the Race To Infinity game, the element of surprise built in means that anything can happen! As an added bonus, we also have a special method around using games to increase maths confidence and have been part of a charity who has been doing this successfully for over 20 years. We strongly believe every child should have this game to promote stress-free methods to help increase their grades and maths confidence.
Race To Infinity is the first game released by BeGenio but others are in the pipeline and due for release in the near future! Watch this space for more information!
