Rebecca Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I am needing to really drill and cement math facts with my eight year old. He is an auditory learner- so I thought chanting facts thru flash cards or using the audio memory songs cd? What is your favorite approach? Thanks!

My ds seems to enjoy it-at least he does not complain. Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 M & M's :001_smile: They are dd's training aid of choice for anything that has to be memorized (math facts, Latin vocab, poetry, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Gate Academy Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Flash cards, wrap ups, and then drill pages to work on speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnia Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 My 6 yr old son absolutely LOVES his hip-hop math facts cd that I purchased from http://www.hiphop-edu.com/. The music helps him remember the facts, and should probably count as PE, too, as much as he bops around! We use combination of music, card games, wrap-ups and flash cards (saying each problem aloud as we go.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabel Lee Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Abeka has the best math flashcards IMO. They have each entire fact family, even if that means having both a "2+3" and a "3+2" card. For math drills, we use those flashcards or just math fact families that I've printed out. For musical math drill, I ordered math songs from Rainbow Resources for subtraction, addition, multiplication, and division. They come w/ a workbook and a CD, and are about $10 - $12 ea. They come in classical music, "kiddy" music, or a more hip-hop sound and are published by AudioMemory. What are wrap ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbaby Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 We use old fashion flash cards and daily oral drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnia Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 What are wrap ups? Here's a link to the manufacturer's site with an overview of Learning Wrap-ups. Most school supply stores and catalogs have them available. Great hands-on way to practice. http://www.learningwrapups.com/wrapsOverview.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 We play muggins math Knock-out which is our new favorite math game. We also skip count forward and backward by every number 2-12 - we toss a bean bag back and forth and take turns. We have to have a moderator, because sometime I get them wrong ;) . We play addition and subtraction war, 21, and other such games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Not auditory, but Math-It has been successful with all of my kids. That's what we used, too. I wrote about our experience with Math-It HERE. It only takes a few minutes to do the card games. We went on to learn the rest of the material presented in the books; I'd say we spent about 15 minutes a day on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 We use math keys, math shark, and MUS online drills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 - Skip count kid audio tape songs - Schoolhouse Rock:Math videos - Triangle flash cards (reduces number of math facts to learn -- turns them into fewer "fact familes") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S in Canada Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 WE have the flashmaster...which works well for us. Much more interesting than flashcards which tend to get very boring. The flashmaster has been really great for solidifying our facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
