Hands-On Math Games
If math drills are getting a bit boring consider these tricks.
- Use a permanent marker to make sections on a beachball. Call out a number and toss the ball to your child. Have him look at the number his right thumb is touching when he catches the ball. He must answer the equation using the number you said and the number his thumb landed on. For example, if you are practicing addition and say “6″ as you toss the ball, and your child catches the ball with his thumb on “4″, he would give the answer for “6 + 4″.
- Draw a grid onto the sidewalk or driveway. Write numbers vertically and horizontally along the grid. Have your child toss two beanbags and solve the problem for the numbers the bags land on.
Both methods can be easily adapted to different studies. Learn the alphabet, practice state capitals, name musical notes and more. Be creative and have fun!
