Helping Children Learn Math at Home
Tips and Activities from Math.com

Our class uses Everyday Mathematics, The University of Chicago School Mathematics Project. We play games to learn many skills. We will be using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, unifix cubes, wooden blocks and a variety of items for sorting. We will also be counting, making and reading graphs, copying and making patterns, comparing, classifying, labeling, and adding and subtracting. Every week you will receive a Family Letter with a math activity to try at home with your child. Here are some Math Activities for kids.

Cool Math for Kids

Card Game - Ace, 2, 3
Each player gets 7 cards. Anyone who has an ace sets it down, and if no one has one then the first person draws a card from the remaining deck. The next person then has to put down a 2, the next person a 3, etc until you get to king and then it starts all over again. If someone doesn't have the card that they need when it is their turn, they draw a card from the deck. The first person to get rid of all their cards wins.

The MegaPenny Project
Visualizing huge numbers can be very difficult.
This project aims to help by taking one small everyday item,
the U.S. penny, and building on that to answer the question:
"What would a billion (or a trillion) pennies look like?"

Rhyme To Learn How To Write the Numbers:

0 - Round and round just like an "O"
Now you’ve made the number zero

1 - Start at the top and down you run
That’s the way you make a one

2 - Make a candy cane and give it a shoe
That’s the way you make a two

3 - Around and around just like a "B"
That’s the way you make a three

Around a tree and around a tree
That is how you make a three

4 - Down and over and down some more
That’s the way you make a four

Down and across and slice through the door
That is how you make a four

5 - Short neck, belly fat
Mr. Five wears a hat

6 - Make a "C" then in you go
Now you’ve made a six you know

7 - Across the sky and down from heaven
That’s the way you make a seven

8 - Make an "S" and then don’t wait
Go back up and make an eight

9 - Make a circle then a line
That’s the way you make a nine

11 - 1 and a 1 looks like rain from heaven.
That's how you make number 11.

12 - Number 12 is easy to do
If you remember it's a 1 and a 2.

Twelve eggs make a dozen

Math Facts Chant for Ten

Make a ten. Make a ten.
We know ways to make a ten.
9+1 and 8+2;
They have sums of ten. It's true.
7+3 and 6+4;
Do you know there are two more?
5+5 and 0+10;
Now let's say them all again!
