We dearest absurd math games, especially for our kids who don't like "school" – y'all know the sit and larn from a book "organized" schoolhouse? Nosotros homeschool so I am constantly looking for ways to bring the learning to life – specially for my son. Flyswatter math is a huge hit! I recollect it has made it into our list of "Friday" learning activities. Flyswatter math combines the fun of moving and slapping with the adventure to larn number recognition and solving math problems.
cool math game.
Nosotros got a large piece of butcher paper out and wrote downward all the numbers betwixt 0 and 50. You can make this smaller for sure, but we are working on recognizing the larger numbers so nosotros went for the large scale version.

With this absurd math game, y'all can accept a lot of dissimilar versions of learning:

  • With a preschooler, play number I Spy, "Tin you observe the number four?   Hint: it is Cerise"
  • Use the worksheet, and instead of answering with words accept him slap the correct answer with the swatter.
  • Enquire him to go in order and notice all the even numbers, or count past fives.
  • Ask him to count backwards (neat for helping develop skills he'll use with subtraction later).
  • Use flash cards and see how fast he can swat the correct answer.
  • Is the fly swatter getting old?   Try mixing information technology upwards by having him tap the answer with his elbow or his olfactory organ.
  • Lay the paper on the floor and stack the corresponding amount of an particular (ex: legos) on top of the number.
