On my spare time I am going to program a computer math game for the kids and their friends. I'm thinking about using plenty of mathematical animations, pictures, fun facts, stories etc. I want to make mathematics fun for them.

What areas of mathematics should i focus on? Where are kids and young adults having the most trouble understanding the subject?

    Python has plenty of math-based packages, I believe. I'm pretty sure the math software Sage is based on Python, so I would imagine you'll be fine. – Ben Sheller Dec 26 '15 at 21:53
  • Probably ask on www.stackoverflow.com – bleh Dec 26 '15 at 21:53
  • @bleh I don't think you should be suggesting any alternate exchange/overflow websites that you're not significantly familiar with. I'm not sure this question really belongs anywhere on the network (but I don't know -- so I'm not recommending anything!) – pjs36 Dec 26 '15 at 21:56
  • The help center suggests matheducators.stackexchange.com for questions about teaching and pedagogy. Nontheless, I don't know that site, therefore I don't know if this would be on-topic there. –  Dec 27 '15 at 11:18
  • @G.Sassatelli Ok, ty anyway, i try there. – JKnecht Dec 27 '15 at 11:32

Python has many other packages. There are at least 300, and I'm sure a dozen or so of those packages have to do with math. Python has plenty of math in itself, so, I wouldn't worry about learning another language.
