While many board games are not specifically maths related, they can provide valuable experience in araes such as counting, strategizing next moves, addition, subtraction or multiplication in score keeping, and spatial awareness as the players move around a board to reach a goal.
Traditional games like Checkers/Draughts, Battleships, Snakes and Ladders, Chinese Checkers, are often available in discount and department stores and sometimes libraries also have these available for lending. Many schools also run Chess clubs and welcome parent help in teaching and mentoring chess players.
