This 20-page Valentine’s Day Multiplication Review Packet includes two worksheets for each of the multiplication facts 2s through 10s. Plus, there are also several pages of mixed review problems.

I made these Valentine’s Day math worksheets for my daughter who is *just* learning about multiplication. She knows how to skip count pretty well and has been asking to learn multiplication. These sheets are pretty basic and cover multiplication by 2s, 5s and 10s. Several of the pages have clocks at the top (to help her see that she already knows 5×3, 5×6 and 5×9). There are also a...

Doubling Practice – Games and Worksheets I made a Valentine’s Day Bump Game for my daughter who is still learning her addition (doubling) facts. We worked on these and from there we’ll move on doubling higher numbers 7 through 10s. After that, we’ll work for a while on “what comes after” and then go on to problems like 6+7. This is a game to practice doubling (1+1, 2+2, etc.). To...
Do you believe education can be exciting, inspiring, and full of joy? We do too!
I love the quote by William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." It's about getting the kids involved, engaged, and fired up about learning (while juggling the rest of life too!)
