As a teacher, one of my biggest concerns was getting my students to forget their math homework over the summer. Students are very anxious about failure because they fear that they will forget or that they will not be ready for the next step. It’s hard for the band to take kids on vacation. As a parent and home-schooler, I am sure that we practice our math-facts regularly so that all the progress made during the school year is not lost.
Here are 10 easy, quick and free ways to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication or division done. Kids can exercise anywhere and anytime they have a few moments. They should spend no more than 5-10 minutes of their time doing math. 4-5 times a week practice is a good goal for shooting. You can help the parent, but the kids should also exercise independently.
First, gather some basic materials in a plastic box . In the keeping box you can list any combination or all of these elements that are usually mathematical facts. . I have described which tool to use next to each application.
—white color coded numbers; choose a color for each digit 0-9. (eg: 0-yellow, 1-blue, 2-red, 3-gold, 4-purple, 5-green, 6-brown, 7-pink, 8-black, 9-gray) Color helps many students remember. Color coding is a useful way to learn place values.
—a set of dice (2) alone with a partner, the student throws dice and adds or multiplies two numbers.
—a set of masters (base 12 set is best) or
—a index cards led to look like dominoes; remember to write the master figure in the color of that number. The student chooses a master and adds, subtracts, or multiplies two numbers. Write the answers on the back of each one.
—a file playing cardsthe student chooses two cards and adds, subtracts or multiplies them. Chest faces are evaluated as follows: (ace-1, jack-10, queen-12 and king-0)
—a supply of Termites is lying down for a degree. Flashcards can be purchased at any discount store . School Zone is cheap. You can make your own by writing the math result on one side and the answer on the back. Remember your color code.
—apencil, eraser and paper: The student writes a family of facts, or draws mathematical facts < /b> You can also give her a pop quiz.
—the table with the notebooks The student makes his Term for the activity he is working on, using stickers and index paper or paper or cardboard scraps.
—a 100 cheat sheet or cheat sheet (see link to print) The student can use them to count (multiply) several numbers, look for patterns or practice facts.
—string with 100 tiny plastic buttons inserted. This hand is to count with different numbers. Give the student a question and ask her to number it. (7×8– it counts seven octants).
—any search for everything little by little; fish crackers, pieces of pieces, raisins, candles, pretzels; A student does math with a snack because he eats it.
This box can be saved on car or at home, as it will do the most. The car is ideal for the place. It also gives a quick car trip that 5-10 minutes of ‘free time’ that is perfect for reviewing.
Don’t forget the small fee either. Your child can work to travel for great ice cream, a book, a new car. Keep the salary simple and manageable. You won’t be rewarded for using $30 for one week, but for the whole summer you won’t even make a small delay. I am rewarded once a week.
With these tips, your budding mathematician can blossom into a master memorizer!
