HRAAB Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I'm looking for some strategy games to round out my 7th gr. dd's math program. She's using TT Algebra I, and it's proved to be very easy for her so far. (Not sure what I'm going to do about that - wait and see) However, I thought it might be worthwhile to add strategy/problem solving type games - variety and some challenge to her school week for math. I'd appreciate some suggestions. Thanks, Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth Yarn Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 my whole family LOVES settlers of catan! my 8 yo DSD and 11 yo DSD can both play even though it is an "adult" game. Also RISK of course, Carcasone and munchkin games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRAAB Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Thank you. I'm making a list. Any others? Also, maybe a workbook of sorts? We've used different Critical Thinking Press books (Red Herrings, Mind Benders). Something like that. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntPol Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 my kids like the Logic Countdown series. I am not sure what is in your grade level though. We all like to do Logic problem books from any magazine stand, sudoku books, and other puzzle books. We also like Rush Hour, Blokus, Chess, Carcassonne, Settlers of Cataan, Risk, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
