Ideas to try at home!
Make or use already made math fact flash cards (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
· Let your child know what time you are leaving for an event, and have him/her calculate how much time there is between the current time and the time you are leaving.
· Start a change jar – Once a week let your child count the contents. Have your child count out lunch money, snack/milk money or book money.
· While in the car, practice mental math. (Ex: 2 X 2 –1 =)
· Play card games – Turn over two cards at a time and figure out the sum, the difference and the product of the two numbers turned over. (You can remove the face cards first or use them as 11, 12, and 13; Aces are equal to 1)
