Activities
Fun, hands-on math activities and games that make everyday practice enjoyable for kids at home or in class.
These articles collect math you can do away from a worksheet: card and dice games, counting, measuring and pattern-making with things already in the house, and games that need no materials at all for car rides and waiting rooms. The games article gives a way to make each game easier or harder, so one game can grow with your child.
Most ideas need little or no preparation. Both articles also cover what to do when a child gets stuck or does not want to play. Activities build the idea; a short daily practice session is where you check that it stuck.
