Free Math Games from PBS

PBS Kids Lab

The new PBS Kids Lab offers 40 new cross-platform games that help children ages 2-8 build math skills. The games—all of which have been tested in classrooms—engage children with new technology like webcams and microphones, making use of body movement and sound.

Examples from the new suites of games include:

Catch the Cat on KET!
