Kathleen in LV Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 We play lots of math games with a deck (or two) of cards. Try some of these: http://practicalpages.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/maths-games-with-a-pack-of-cards/ or make up your own to match what they're currently learning.

Melinda S in TX Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have tried many things over the years and nothing worked until http://www.reflexmath.com/ I love it and the children love it. It requires no input from you, except the occasional level change. When trying to reach fluency, I have the children play it two fifteen minutes a day. Once they reach fluency, they play for fifteen minutes twice a week until their subscription runs out. I can't say enough good about Reflexmath.com.

linders Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The boys liked this fishing game for subtraction: http://www.softschools.com/math/games/fishing_sub.jsp They loved the silly games here http://www.multiplication.com/games for multiplication. And this site has a wide variety of math games: http://www.mathplayground.com/games.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) I like the Buki math books; you can often find them in upscale toy stores. Here's one example: Calc-U-Draw MindWare also has some good books. You can see some here.

Jay3fer Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 You might try Verbal Math Lesson. I wasn't sure about this but discovered when we were reading Life of Fred books in bed that my dd6 enjoys doing "drill" orally, without the hassle of writing stuff down. She loves Verbal Math - we go so quickly, she scarcely realizes she's learning, and we cover 15-25 questions a day, which isn't much, but she is progressing... we've been at it since November now, and still having fun! They have three levels now (Level 1 = Grade 1, addition and subtraction, Level 2 = Grade 2, more addition/subtraction, beginning multiplication/division, Level 3 = Grade 3, mixed calculations, fractions), so you could choose whichever was most appropriate. They're only around $5 for Kindle editions, and there's also a PDF eBook form on the Verbal Math Lesson website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
