🎲🧠 Board games are boosting math ability in young children 👶📈
Now this new study, published in the peer-reviewed journal, finds, for three to nine-year-olds, the format of number-based board games helps to improve counting, addition, and the ability to recognize if a number is higher or lower than another.
"Using board games can be considered a strategy with potential effects on basic and complex math skills. However, preschools rarely use board games. This study aimed to compile the available evidence of their effects on children. All children participating in the studies received special board game sessions which took place on average twice a week for 20 minutes over one-and-a-half months. Teachers, therapists, or parents were among the adults who led these sessions.
The other categories were deepened number comprehension -- where a child can accurately add and subtract -- and interest in mathematics. In nearly a third of cases, children in the intervention groups gained better results than those who did not take part in the board game intervention.

Galaxy J1135 reveals its water map -- ScienceDailyResearchers look at water in galaxies, its distribution and in particular its changes of state from ice to vapor, as important markers indicating areas of increased energy, in which black holes and stars are formed. A new study has now revealed the distribution of water within the J1135 galaxy, which is 12 billion light years away and formed when the Universe was a 'teenager', 1.8 billion years after the Big Bang . This water map, with unprecedented resolution, is the first ever to be obtained for such a remote galaxy. The map can help scientists to understand the physical processes taking place within J1135 and shed light on the dynamics, still partially unclear, surrounding the formation of stars, black holes and galaxies themselves.
