Faithful Homestead

So often kids look at math as a drudgery rather than looking at it as a fun class.  Sunya Publishing is trying to change that perception with their new card games.  They have two games:

• Sunya – The Magic and Wonder of Math and Science Adding & Subtracting
• Sunya – The Magic and Wonder of Math and Science Multiplying & Dividing

These games are so new that as of this post the only place to purchase the game is through their website.

We received the Multiplying & Dividing game for our review.  There are sixty cards with the numbers, wild cards and the multiplication/division signs.  There is also a deck of thirty cards with math and science facts and riddles on them.  (The facts and riddles are quite interesting!)

Sunya (soon- ya) is a a Sanskrit (ancient language of India) word.  Sunya means empty or void of any quantity.  The goal of the Sunya game is to be the first player who runs out of cards and says “sunya.”  Our numerical system was developed in India about 1,500 years ago.
