...I declare a Math war.

We are still waiting for Cameron's math book to arrive.  I thought I would take this time to reinforce his basic math skills.

A friend of mine has a math game that is played like the game of War.  I thought that we could easily copy this game with the flash cards we have.

Cameron LOVES this game.

How we play.

1. Divide flash cards evenly between players
2. Each place a flash card down on the table.
3. Do the math problem.
4. High number wins.
5. Person with most cards at the end win.

Did I mention that Cameron loves this game?

After playing this a few times, we changed up the rules.  He could "steal" my card.  I keep my hand over my card and, after he answered his card, if he could get the answer to my card in less than 5 seconds, very slow seconds, he could have my card, even if it was the higher card.

Soon, he was getting ALL of the cards.  He was pretty pleased with himself.  But, there is a secret I'm not telling him...

I'm not telling him I to am pleased that he is getting all of the cards.  It means he is improving on his math skills in both accuracy and speed.

If our math book doesn't come in tomorrow, I'm declaring another math war.
