Default math facts practice is boring

. .. Anyone know of any fun games to play to practice math facts? We have math
blaster which is a ton of fun and very helpful. But I am looking for
addition and subtraction facts to 12 to practice on. And I HATE drills.
They make me think of a friend of mine whose father screamed at him while
doing flash cards.


What age are you looking for? #2 (age 4) loves me to do join the line games.
I write sums (eg 5 +6, 4+12 etc) down one side and write the answers down
the other in a different order and she has to join the sum and it's answer
(you can have more than one sum to each answer to make it harder).


The Singapore Math 1B Workbook http://www.singaporemath.com/ has such
exercises. In general I think this series of math textbooks and
workbooks is well done. My 4yo son likes it.
