Joyful Journey

• Sep. 3, 2007 - The best math ever!

Here is Cade as we practice his math facts. A simple game of 'War' with playing cards. I removed all of the face cards and used the 2-5 cards only to start. We split the deck and each put down a card, he added the total and if he got the math right got to keep both cards. After each round I would add in another number card of his choosing until we were using all the cards (except the faces and aces!) He did not want to quit and beamed "This is the best math ever mom, lets do it every day!" He was especially happy when he found out this was the only math we would be doing today. Cuyler looked on with envy and asked if he could play the game "Except I could multiply the numbers." Amazing what a deck of cards can accomplish!

This is such a great idea! My son's favorite game is War. I am going to try this later this year when we get to addition!

I'm have to try this with Skylar and Adam! Can you believe he's starting to add already! My little boy is growing too fast! At least smarts wise! I wonder if he'll ever get some meat on him!
