Great games for understanding math concepts

I am a homeschooler. My son is a very visual and hands-on learner, so when he learned math using paper and pencil calculations only, he would quickly forget the concepts by the next day. I searched the internet for math games to reinforce conceptual understanding of decimals for my son. I think this is an exceptional book filled with fun and interesting methods to reinforce math concepts. It relates math to the real world in many of the activities.Some activites are not really games, but are still interesting ways to present concepts. I plan to buy all of Lynette Long's math activity books!
