Math Facts

Summer is already passing us by quickly and we have been on the GO, GO, GO, but to keep refreshed for the start of school, I have taken a Pinterest idea and modified it to work best in our home. It requires very few supplies that I already had here at home and it will grow with Bayleigh as she moves on to harder subjects in Math Class.

What you need:

A Photo album

Index Cards

Permanent Marker

Dry Erase Marker

sorry this is sideways

I wrote out Math problems on each index card using the permanent marker. I did NOT include an addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division symbol. (This is what will make the cards grow with your child).

Next, insert the index cards into a sleeve of the photo album. This creates the surface for your child to write with the Dry Erase Marker to reuse the Math Facts cards over and over. This is where you will add your symbol for which topic your child will practice and it wipes off easily with a rag or tissue. So easy, yet SO FUN! AND, it is easy to pack in the car for trips to the store or even longer road trips.

This is a project that can be done with children of all ages.

*You can buy the 8.5x11 clear page protectors and a binder and slip a coloring page into the top.

*You can write letters of the alphabet and have them trace the letters or even draw a blank line off to the side or at the bottom so that the child can write the letters on their own.

*You can even slip one of those pages that have the lines that Kindergarteners and First Graders use to learn to write with, you know the brownish color pages with the dashed line in the center, and have them practice writing spelling words and numbers as well.

As the time comes I will type several math problems out and get a binder to put those same pages into and time her as we drive down the road or even here at home. It saves paper. It's unique so it keeps the child interested and you can moved the cards around in the photo sleeves so that it's different every time. :) (I save the last sleeve to put the extra cards in that won't fit). Hope you have as much fun with this project as we are having!
