I would like to get ds a computer program that will help him to be able to apply his workbook math in real-life ways. Something like an investment game (someone suggested "Sims: Open for Business", but I know nothing about that).
When he was younger, he played a game called "Pharaoh" and it was very fun (he loved it) and also educational--he set up a community, developed trade agreements with other cities, relationships with other governments, learned how to develop economic growth without growing too fast, etc. It was really good.
So, does anyone know of something like this--fun, but educational. A stock investment game would be interesting. And if anyone is familiar with the Sims game mentioned above, I would appreciate your thoughts on it.
TIA!
