    Are there games like Dragonbox for other types of math skills like Geometry or Probability? My kids love Dragonbox and I would like to get them games that would cover skills that are not covered in Dragonbox.

    Wow Chana (lacostej) - ask and ye shall receive.

    If only it were that easy with other things - like public school giving gifted kiddos exactly what they need. Can you wish for that next please!?!

    1frugalmom,

    LOL! I've been praying for that one, but the response to my prayer was "homeschool". I guess we can't have it all. Now my hopes and expectations on the Geometry is through the roof. I hope it is here by summer.

    The time is now. Just downloaded Dragonbox Elements (as in Euclid's Elements) and DS is getting a kick out of it. Starts out with subtle skill building on recognizing triangle types and moves into construction principles. Neat... I'm a fan, must now play while DS is asleep... Muahaha.

    Thanks for the heads up! I will get it first thing in the morning. Did you see the sun rise and wonder where the time went?
