Need a fun way to help your child gain math fact fluency? Try this!
- Play math toss. Toss a balloon or ball around the room at your kids. As you toss, call out a math fact. Whoever you toss to has to shout out the answer before catching or bouncing back the balloon/ball (or call out the answer before passing it on).
