Summer is Here!
Have fun in the sun, but do yourself a favor and take advantage of the break to memorize your multiplication/division and addition/subtraction facts! It's fun! Try some of these links for games you will enjoy!
Math Magician: Beat the Clock!
Cool Math: So many fun games! Cool graphics with sound effects!
Why not learn some new songs to help you memorize? Schoolhouse Rock is a favorite! You can borrow some of these from the library or purchase them here:
Amazon- You might be able to sample some on iTunes! (Search "multiplication songs.")
Click here for free triangle flash cards to print! Much better than traditional flash cards...when you use these, you learn to associate all three numbers in the fact family.
Multiplication Drills to Print (This site also has drills for division, addition, and subtraction.)
Stay safe, and have fun this summer!
