zelli21 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Just wondering if there are any good videos or songs that can assist children to learn their math fact (all 4 variations)? Trying to do traditional flash cards is being met with resistance. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenieReighn Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It's not a video or song, but this did the trick for my girls: xtramath.org. :-D Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 are you opposed to computer games? Timez Attacks is a lot of fun, and free. I also bought 2 10-sided dice and we would play a simple game - each of us would roll the two dice and had to state the problem "2 plus 5 is 7" and then whoever got the highest score that round got a tally mark. and the person with the most tally mark wins . . . but of course the real point is just to review the facts. No big deal if they get it wrong, just correct and move on . . . they will get it eventually. and you can do it for other operations as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2boysteacher Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My kids really enjoy Muggins and Knock-Out. They are board games which can be found here: http://www.mugginsmath.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I grew up playing the 'Math It' games. They are a card game and can be competitive or just self competitive. My son enjoys them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 There are a million smart phone and tablet apps for facts practice. I also really like games like 24, Knock-Out, and Corners (one of the Right Start games), that force you to practice different operations. You're not running through rote practice - there's strategy involved, making it more fun - and killing two birds with one stone by giving kids both lots of facts practice and a chance to play around with number relationships a bit more than flash cards.
