Abstract
Computer games are a powerful medium to learn mathematics [1]. They are used in several mathematical domains and in particular for the learning of basic skills in the domain of number. In this field, very often so-called 'mini-games' are used. In general, these games consist of small, focused activities, which students play for fun and in which they are engaged for a short period of time [2]. Mini-games can be part of textbook materials or can be textbook-independent. The RekenWeb mini-games (http://www.rekenweb.nl) belong to the latter category.
