Charlie is obsessed with Basketball and none of his friends have been over to play Basketball with Charlie. So to keep Charlie interested in Math and Basketball this week in #HomeschoolWithBoardGames: NBA Math Hoops board game is what we will be using this week.
BOARD GAME
The NBA Math Hoops board game was developed in an Educator’s classroom and has scaled to reach over a quarter million students nationwide. All games are produced by Hasbro and focus on foundational Math Skills for Elementary and Middle School Students.
The digital board game adaptation brings the original NBA Math Hoops gaming experience to life online. The game extends the program experience by including a broader range of featured athletes, regularly updated data, and a classroom league infrastructure for educators.
