Get a Jump Start on Math Facts
Here in South Florida, school is already into its second week. My third grader has a math test already, and I��m wishing we would have spent more time over the summer reviewing math facts.
Neither of my children enjoys traditional flashcards, so I have searched and searched for ways to make learning math facts more fun.
Our favorite math site, www.Aplusmath.com is an easy to use site offering a worksheet generator, online flashcards and games including Matho, Concentration and Hidden Pictures. Matho combines both bingo and math facts in an exciting timed game. Match the math problem to the answer in concentration. Discover beautiful photographs by solving math problems in the hidden pictures game.
Another good math site, SuperKids, allows you to generate printable worksheets. Using this site, you can select minimum and maximum values to be used on the worksheet. You can even produce a worksheet using one number in all problems. This is especially valuable when learning new math facts. Select the number of problems per page and generate your worksheet. Customize your worksheets to fit your specific needs. It��s a great way to review.
Both of my children enjoy music, so tapes and CD��s are perfect for us. Rock n Learn makes fun audio programs featuring ��cool music that teaches��. I was pleasantly surprised at how much my third-grader enjoyed the music.
Get the school year off to a great start. Helping your child learn math facts now will make more advanced math so much easier. Have fun!
