For parents and teachers

coolmathgames.co.uk is a collection of free browser games for children, teenagers and grown-ups. Here is what you need to know.

What children can do here

• Play games in the browser. There's nothing to download and no account to create.
• Keep favourites and a "recently played" list. These are stored in the browser on that device only. We can't see them, and clearing the browser's data removes them.
• Give a game a thumbs up or down. Votes are anonymous.

What they can't do

• There are no accounts, profiles or usernames.
• There is no chat and no way to message other players on our site.
• There are no in-game purchases sold by us.

How we pick the games

Every game is chosen and checked by a person against our game rules: no gore, horror, gambling, alcohol or drugs, and no knock-offs of famous characters. Cartoon action, such as stickman fights and tower battles, is allowed.

Adverts and data

The site is paid for by adverts. Some games show a short advert before they start. We use Google AdSense for adverts on our pages. Advertisers may use cookies, and where the law requires it we ask before they do. Our privacy notice has the details.

Our newsletter is for people aged 13 and over and for parents. We only send it after the address owner confirms by email.

In school

• Games run in an ordinary web browser, so they usually work on school laptops and Chromebooks. Some need a keyboard: each game page says what it works on.
• Good places to start for lessons and wet playtimes: Puzzle, Maths & Brain, Strategy, Board & Card.
• Game pages show the skills each game uses, such as logic, maths, memory, planning or spatial thinking.
