Great Math Finds!

Emira is having some difficulty learning and memorizing her multiplication facts. This is hindering her math skills and we are bound and determined to do whatever it takes to help her get them glued in her brain.


Today while reading my rss feeds I was happy to find these great FREE Skip Counting Charts from Jolanthe at Our Homeschool Creations! She always has amazing freebies and this one is no exception!!

I also found the Personal Trainer: Math game for her to play on her Nintendo DSi. I'm hoping she will enjoy this game while learning and practicing her math.

We are also going to be using Times Tales as well. I have heard nothing but great things about this program and am excited to receive it and get started.

I know these will be a great addition to our Teaching Textbooks Math 4 curriculum!
