Hmmm
One's point of interest may not be one's useful learning tool.


How about you teach him math regular way, then introduce him to modding, programming, etc...

The Wire season 4

Relatable contexts in maths and logic problems play a huge role in both learning and testing (that's actually one issue with standard IQ tests).

Breja: Heroes of Might & Magic! I had 150 dwarves, and the hydras killed 23. Now there are 127 dwarves left! If one troll deals 7 damage, how much damage will 5 trolls do?
Lots!

Yeah, but in this case you might find really niche game or somehow lacking in strategy. Kid might have better fun watching video/show.

I can't count that high :p

I did notice, but decided to have a go anyway in case someone else is in roughly the same situation. Wouldn't have resurrected the thread for it myself though.
Here is a very helpful song for counting to four. A good start :)

But when it comes to games, pretty much any that contain numbers are actually OK.

Doom? How much health are you going to have if you pickup a medikit that heals for 25 and you have 47 health? Is it worth picking it up when you are at 88 health? How much health are you going to waste if you pick it up?

Age of Empires 2? I have 279 food. How many villagers can I build if one costs 50 food? How much time will it take if one villager takes 20 seconds to build?

There are so many aspects that train your brain in almost any game even if you don't think about it. One of the frequently forgotten about benefits when it comes to gaming.

Egg Even Odd help early elementary age children learn to distinguish between odd and even numbers. Collect the eggs according to the mission level. This game gives parents an opportunity to see how quickly and accurately kids can recognize odd and even numbers.

There are some Garfield games that teach mathematics as seen here:

Can I have games that help old men learn university mathematics?
