Math is Fun

###Math is Fun###

I have a situation in my house where two of my children do not even seem to have to think about the math problem to know the retort and the other two struggle with their math homework on a constant basis. I am sure that this is a general situation in most households. It seems that you whether get math or you do not. My now eight year old son was multiplying duplicate digits in his head at age six, while his sister who is five years older than him was working like crazy just to keep a "B" in math class.

Over the years, while helping the two children who struggled with math with their homework, there have been times when both my children and myself have become very frustrated. The only thing that was happening at that table was the creation of a very strong dislike for math. No matter how many dissimilar ways I tried to clarify the math concept, they just were not getting it. The longer that we sat there, the worse it got. While 2 x 2 = 4 may be true, so was math + homework = frustration.

So, I did what every parent does these days, I sat down at my computer and entered the word "math" in the Google hunt box. The hunt results showed that there were over 100,000,000 results. I decided I good be a puny more definite and so I entered "math is fun" That is when I found this product, "Making Math More Fun".

I decided to try this math resource and boy was I glad that I did! Not only did I get games sheets, board games and card game sets but it helped me be a good educator to my children.

Now when we sit down to do math homework the kids are excited and happy to learn. They even ask me to quiz them on math facts when we are in the car driving as a way to pass the time.

This resource also taught me some good tips for helping them everyday to become a good math student.

1. Learn the basic facts so that you do not have to count it out. Generate flash cards with the recipe on one side and the retort on the other. This way you can have man else quiz you or you can study by yourself.

2. Play math games. There are many good resources for this or Generate your own. For instance, look through a magazine and find any coupons and then frame out which one offers the best deal.

3. Practice using math in your everyday life. Approximately all of us use math everyday; a chef making ready a recipe, a contractor measuring and cutting a piece of wood, a store owner choosing on a behalf point for a particle item.
