It’s raining and the kids are complaining “I’m bored!” Here are fun activities that also reinforce math skills!
- Kitchen Fun! Many children love to help out in the kitchen, especially when the end results are cookies! Choose something that requires a lot measurement, such as baking cookies. Stand back and let the kids do the measuring and pouring. Ask questions about conversions and have them experiment with the tools – i.e. how many ounces are in a cup?
- Cards! The popular card game ‘War’ as is helps with ordering (which card is greater/lesser), but add a twist. Each player puts down two cards instead of one, and sums the value of the card (add your own value to the king, jack and queen cards to make it easier/harder). The person with the higher value wins the hand.
- Math-Whizz! We certainly do not want to forget to mention Math-Whizz! Sign your children up for Math-Whizz and let them have access to a fun and adaptive online math tutor presented to them through a personalized learning environment. Go to Math-Whizz to learn more.
