I thought it’d be fun to make some addition games for those of you with younger kids. It’s winter out for sure here having just gotten at least two feet of snow, so I chose these cute penguins for the game! There are two different games: a Penguins Doubles Game where the kids roll one die and double the number they roll (1+1, 2+2, 3+3, etc.). My kids learned their doubles...

Recently I came across these multiplication game boards I made for LD years ago. Originally I made it for LD to practice his 7s, but then I made another for the 6s. I thought ED would have fun reviewing her 6s and 7s facts when we start back to school. We’ve been playing these daily since the holidays! I’m going to share this game again for those who might be...

Today I’ve got some free Montessori-style addition pages to share with you! There are some pages with no regrouping and some with regrouping (ie. carrying). These are similar to the pages I made for ED a couple of years ago. It really helped her with the columns laid out and in the Montessori colors.

These winter-themed worksheets are mostly for division practice, but there are a few pages of general multiplication worksheets too. There are 9 pages total.

Here are a few math review sheets I put into ED’s math workbox this week. (I almost forgot to share it!) So better late than never, right?!! These pages have a little bit of everything–addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. She has just started on double-digit multiplication, but she likes having “fun” math sheets too. Hope someone else can use these! 🙂 ~Liesl Christmas Math Worksheets You might be interested...

The other two pages have fraction problems. There’s one column of reducing the fractions and one column of equivalent fractions. We have math textbooks that the kids do as well, but they enjoy having their own “fun” math worksheets as well....

I have a ton of math activities and free resources to share with you in this post! We started working on Place Value when my kids were about 4.

Multiplication Facts for the 4s and 9s (and more!)! As my daughter moved into learning her multiplication facts I looked around for the kind of multiplication practice that would help her. The math book she was using went through the math facts a bit too quickly for her. She needed quite a bit of repetition and wanted bright, colorful worksheets. I wound up making my own sets of practice pages...

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!)
A bit about me: I have my Master's from Brown University. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience. I was a high school teacher for many years both in the U.S. and internationally and also taught for the University of Maryland before leaving to homeschool my 3 wonderful kids.
