alt Hacker NewsCultivating that passion is an art. A modern tool which I've found great to let my kids grow their math ability is the game Prodigy Math. Worth checking out - it's fun (do math to gain spellcasting ability in the game) and gently pushes the envelope of what they can do. It emails parents with details on what math problems the child didn't get right and with sample exercises to address those areas. I have no connection to them other than being a customer.

Hey thanks for this recommendation I'm going to check it out.
Have you tried Dragon Box? I've had my son doing that for awhile. Parent reporting is lacking.
Also briefly did Khan Academy Kids but he's so far ahead that seems pretty useless now.

The music in that game is sublime
This brings back great memories of a game I played as a kid called 24. Not so much modern, just cards with four numbers that you would add, subtract, multiply and divide to get the center number. Then you would slap the card and explain. It did something to my brain as even the thought of those cards makes me smile.
