Make homemade math games together as a family. Together children and their parents can create a game and play it, all the while the child is practicing math. Ask your child's teacher what they are learning in class and then create a game your child can play at home with you for practice in the evenings.
There are many commercial children's math boards games available on the market that teach math. However, one generic board game can be created at home and used to play many different types of games. For example, if your child is learning his numbers, create a bingo board game so he can practice identifying and locating numbers. Create a plain board of about 20 to 25 spaces. Get some dice or a spinner. Create a stack of cards that ties in to the concept your child is learning in class. For example, have a stack of multiplication flashcards. The players role the dice, draw a card, and if the problem is answered correctly, they move that number of spaces on the board. The first player to the finish line wins.
Card games are a fun way to practice math. Take a set of 9 index cards and label each card with the numbers 1 - 9. Players take turns drawing the cards, and the first one to total 15 wins. Another card game is memory. Take a set of 20 index cards. Label them with the numbers your child is learning to identify. Place them upside-down and play memory. This will help children who are learning number identification.
Get moving while learning math. Create a math game that involves your child being physical. Take a piece of plywood, cut some holes out of the board and label them with numbers. Give your child some bean bags and call out a math fact. For example, if your child is learning addition, call out an addition fact. She finds the answer on the board and throws her bean bag through it. For a measurement activity, lay on the floor and have your child measure you with paper clips. Talk to them about how they would estimate how many feet that is.
