Please Read For The Future Of Maths Learning

Hello Maths Forum your site is great but i am disapointed in the lack of fun and exciting activities that embrace childrens playful attidudes but also alow them to learn in a fun environment. I am very sad at the boring activities found on this site and i am very angered. Kids should learn maths through fun activities without even knowing it.

Why don't you start with a sort of math RPG*?

*Role Playing Game

I would not want to be a politician... Let me tell you this: If I was campaigning, and I go against my opponent and he started attacking my character, and I leap over the table and choke him unconscious, would that help my campaign? --Chuck Norris--

But good RPGs are hard to make

I looked at making something like this and found that it usually takes a TEAM of people a long time to create one. Plus bags and bags of money.

In my opinion, the kids only enjoy math activities when there is a supervisor or game coordinator in the class or maybe outdoor activities. This is a virtual place , more or less for junior or senior already so i donot think the kids will get a lot of benefit here.
I remember in my state, marketing people go around the suburbs to sell their expensive math products which consists of a lot of activities like you said but as far as for a long term studying they will feel bored immediately just after one or two weeks sitting in front of computer by themselves, it means when parents are busy for their own businesses.
