Learning Store

girl in blue with game

Welcome! Kim Lee Learning LLC has an Amazon store! Many times parents have asked me about ways to practice math at home. I think one of the best ways to investigate and understand math concepts in a fun way is through games.

Games teach number sense, logic, reasoning, spatial understanding, and many thinking strategies like focusing, connecting events, following multi-step directions, perseverance and having an “I CAN DO IT” attitude. Games also help develop working memory, and though integration. There are also wonderful stories that have math connections and teach math skills in a fun way too. My experience as a teacher of preschoolers – 8 th grade and as a parent has helped me create an Amazon store that I hope you will find helpful. My children are ages 12 – 16 and we love to play games. When we go on vacation, games are at the top of our packing list! I put recommended ages next to the games, but some children are ready to play a game earlier and others love to keep playing certain games even when they are older than the suggested age. Please remember to access Amazon.com through my link to the right whenever you shop there and my product links will take you directly to Amazon.

Hope you enjoy your shopping and thank you for visiting!
