I blogged about it here. http://www.thehomespunlife.com/2010/11/visual-multiplication.htmlSisterlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697215030563741501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919117044428850947.post-51633304524703543242010-11-09T07:37:25.573-07:002010-11-09T07:37:25.573-07:00Here's a really cute math game that's more...Here's a really cute math game that's more girl-style: http://www.ictgames.com/save_the_whale_v4.html<br /><br />You could also play Math War with cards--put two playing cards down each time, then the one with the greatest sum wins. Or do it with dominoes--draw a tile, then the one with the greatest number of total spots win. Or play any board game with two dice--if you can, get eight or twelve-sided dice.<br /><br />My kids really enjoyed a cute book called *One More Bunny* by Rick Walton that illustrates all the addition facts up to ten. There's also some called *Math Fables* and *Math Fables Too* by Greg Tang.<br /><br />I like all of these because they reinforce the facts while keeping it concrete and visual--understanding with memory.<br /><br />OK, this is getting long, but I just put together a whole bunch of ideas, as this is where my kids are, too.
