Here are some quick and easy suggestions to incorporate math at home! *Practice math on the IXL computer based math program:Click on the link below to take you to hundreds of math concepts broken into all grade levels and skills for your child to complete. Your child's username is their Cherry Hill Student ID and their password is 123456. Have fun :) https://www.ixl.com/signin/cherryhill *Counting out from a larger set: Have your child practice counting a specified number of items from a larger group of items such as "Take 3 cookies" from a box or "Get 3 forks" from the drawer etc. *1:1 Correspondence: Work on your child learning to count items out loud as he's touching each one such as rocks in the garden, blocks as he's building, pillows on the couch, balls, etc. *Rote Counting: Throughout the day have your child practice counting up to a number. Start easy such as 20 then continue to add 10 more with a goal of at least 100. A number chart in the beginning helps as a nice visual prompt. Please ask me for one if you are interested! *Adding/Joining & Subtracting/Taking Away: As your child is playing or eating, use the items to work on concepts such as adding and subtracting. While playing with blocks or legos have them count the red blocks, then the green blocks, then join them and count them all together. Then as he's putting them away have him count the total number of blocks and as he puts them in a bin, have him count how many are left. You can also write out the number sentences on a chalk/white board or paper as he's doing it. (6-2=4) or (3 red blocks + 2 green blocks = 5 blocks) etc. This can be done with many activities such as books, seashells, rocks, cars, food etc. *Skip Counting: While playing, taking walks, shopping etc. practice skip counting by 10s (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 etc. up to 100), by 5s, by 2s and so on. You can do it with or without objects. *Time: Have your child practice telling time on a digital and analog clock to the hour and 1/2 hour. You can also have them wear a digital watch and do time checks throughout the day. AM and PM can also be discussed and typical times of day such as dinner is at 6:00 PM etc. *Money: Identifying the names and values of coins and bill is a life skill that can be worked on at home or at the store. Once your child knows the names and values they can begin to count the coins, starting first with all pennies, all dimes etc.
