Free Math Game Printable: Giddy Up! Add ’em Up!

One thing I love about homeschooling is that we have the ability to be totally spontaneous! Our family started our new homeschool year a couple of weeks ago, but then Hubby and I decided at the last minute to take a family vacation. So, we simply stacked the (academic) books, packed the car and set out for a week of camping — plus a whole slew of education and just...

Free Montessori Style Addition Sheets (And Place Value Activities)

Earlier this year, ED decided she wanted a math workbook just like DD and LD’s books. We had been playing a lot of games, but according to her, that wasn’t “real math” anymore! I bought a Spectrum math workbook for her (grade 2). She worked her way through the basic addition problems. Before she goes on to tackle double digit addition and subtraction in that book, though, I wanted her...

Coins, Coins, Coins! (Ages 4-6)

ED has been working on coins for math. To be honest, sometimes things just don’t get accomplished unless I’ve taken some time before-hand to get things ready. Here are some activities I got together for her. I grabbed our coin bowl and made pre-made ziploc bags of coins for her to match. There is one extra card for each packet.
