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!
