I’ve been quiet lately, but we have been plugging away at our studies!  One of our favorite things to do is play math games, most are from our Right Start math curriculum but not all.

Sarah likes to try to find the missing number.  I lay out two rows of cards from 1-10 exactly the same.  She hides her eyes and then I take one away and move all the cards together to fill the empty space.  She then has to figure out what number is missing.  We also do this game with only one row which she and Sophie like to play together.

Sophie has really caught on to odd/even numbers.  I found this printable game online (can’t for the life of me remember where)!  I printed it out on cardstock and we use a die and playing pieces we had laying around.  One player is even and the other plays the odd numbers.

Parker likes to play a game called Corners.  It’s really helped him with his math facts, you have to match like colored numbers together so they equal a multiple of 5.

And what math game would be complete without a snake belt?
