Fun Homeschool Math Fact Mastery
Learning math facts is necessary to help your child solve more complicated math problems efficiently. In the past I have posted some ideas to make learning math facts fun. Here are more ways of mastering them in your homeschool without the drudgery.
~While reciting the facts, do a hand clapping game. Girls especially love these kinds of games.
~Play card games:
- Cribbage is a great one to play with children who are slightly older. You have to make sums of 21 & 15. You also have to multiply when you get the same score multiple times. You can find the rules of the game here.
- Black Jack is another game helpful in teaching addition facts. (I had a teacher who called it “21″ instead.). While playing the game, you have to find sums up to 21 quickly.
~Make flashcards, one set with the product/sum and one with the equation.
- Play “Go Fish” by matching the equation to the product/sum.
- Play “Concentration” by matching the equation to the product/sum.
~Play Soduku. You can play online here.
~Learn the doubles - 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, etc. Also focus on the the trickier facts – 5+6, 5+7, 5+8, 5+9, 6+7, 7+8, 7+9, & 8+9. You can make up songs to help remember them.
