How Many? - (Problem-Solving)
This activity is a great way to help your child develop different ways to solve problems that involve adding and subtracting! It is a fun way to explore and build strategies for solving problems dealing with adding and subtracting.
Teacher's Mistake - (No Materials Needed)
This activity is great for quick math practice with sequencing number from thirty to one hundred. You can do this anywhere because there are no materials needed! You say a set of numbers in sequence in the range of thirty to one hundred and leave one number out. Your child has to guess what number you missed. Then your child can have a turn being the teacher and see if you can figure out what number they left out. This is a great opportunity to fit some fun math practice in anytime.
Go Fish - (Numbers 1-10)
This game is not only fun, but also a great way to help kids learn different ways to make the number ten! This game is played like traditional Go Fish, except that a “match” is two cards that can be added together to make ten.
Bingo Addition - (Numbers 2-12)
Bingo is a game that everyone can enjoy! This version, however, is a fun way to help kids learn simple addition using the numbers 1-6. Having lots of practice adding these numbers together in different combinations is a great way for kids to begin “internalizing” these facts.
