Family Math
We've had fun with this hands-on approach to enjoying math with lively activities and games. This book is especially good if your child "hates" math or is intimidated by it. Chapters begin with early math skills (counting, coins, odd/even, etc.) and advanced word problems, logical reasoning, measurement, geometry, spatial thinking, probability, statistics, calculators, estimation, arithmetic and more. Each activity begins with "Why?" and follows with "How?" so you know both how to play the game and what math concepts are learned. Some gameboards and activities are included that you will want to photocopy (although we have "played" right on the actual book page). Parents don't have to have any math aptitude to use this book! Paperback, 319 pages, for ages 5 to 12 years. |
