lil' maids in a row Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My 7 yr. old would prefer to have her teeth pulled out (without painkiller ) rather than practice her math facts :scared: . Math is not my strong suit, but I have tried everything I can think of to make this a positive experience for her (songs, wrap-ups, file folder activities, races, lots of praise, short practice sessions etc.), I am out of ideas. I recently listened to a lecture from a Rightstart rep. discussing using games for math practice. I used some of the game ideas they recommended and BINGO..... happy child, completed lessons, actual progress :hurray: . So, I am thinking about buying the whole math games package (I want to stick with our current curriculum though). It is $60. Money has been tight recently, so while we can buy it I want to make sure it is worth it first. Has anyone used it? Are the games simple and helpful? Would it be just as easy to put together some games from internet resources for free, or is the quality of these games worth it? Thanks for the help :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByGrace3 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I bought it used so got it for half price but even at full price it would have been one of the best homeschool investments we have made! We love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I got it on sale and it was definitely worth the cost then. It will resell well, if you can take that into account. And our favorite, which is Corners, is not something you could easily make yourself, though obviously many of the games, like Going to the Dump, can be played with a regular card deck with some small modifications, and others could be homemade, but the effort would be big. If you can swing it, I'd try to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha2U Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I definitely recommend the Math Card Games Kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil' maids in a row Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 This makes me feel so much more confident. Now if you ladies would just talk to my husband and explain why I need to spend $60 + on games :svengo: . Just kidding, he is a good sport, he will be excited to wake up to something other than the screeching sound of a 7 year old whining about flash cards :thumbup: .

umsami Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I bought it a few years ago on HSBC. We decided not to continue with Right Start, but still use the card games. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
