Here’s another simple little game to practice those math facts …

Addition Memory – Take the Aces-nines out of a deck of cards (to make it easier and/or quicker just take 2 of each).  Shuffle the cards and lay them face down and play like regular memory but instead of finding matches you are trying to find two cards that total 10.  I learned about this game from the Right Start math curriculum that we have and it suggests that the child uses the abacus if needed.  They have this suggestion to deter the children from counting on their fingers.
