simple math exercises
Is there a book or a website that has simple math questions in words?
DD (4) is interested in solving math problems. So far I'm asking her questions like if she has 6 candies how will she equally distribute them among 3 kids. She loves simple puzzles like these. I'm running out of creative ways to ask these questions. Is there a website or books you can recommend? The websites I googled has stuff like tracing numbers and counting pictures etc. Not what I'm looking for. Thanks. |

The websites I googled has stuff like tracing numbers and counting pictures etc. Not what I'm looking for. I do my own mostly for both of mine. That way you can put it with things that interest them. If you save them on the computer than you can just change the numbers before printing it out and get different questions. They don't seem to worry if it's not a new question. I found that that level for maths very hard to find anything in either books or websites. It was either way too easy or too hard. There are CD rom games, again, that age tends to be hard to find a reasonable level. Either it's 2 fish add 3 fish (with pictures so they can count) or add 46 and 28 in your head.... If you are looking at them then don't go just on the age range. #2 (3.5 years) completed the maths top level on the age 5-7 last week, and #1 (6.5yo) was given a game rated at 5+ which me and dh (who's pretty profficient at that sort of game) haven't yet managed to get above a certain level. I can recommend "Oz: the magical adventure". It's not exactly what you're looking for but #1 loved it at 4yo. It's more mathematical concepts and memory games than whay you're looking at, but it is reasonably challenging and quite fun. Try her with the basic sudukos. You can get ones with only 4 or 6 numbers. #1 started doing them at that age and she loved them, and soon moved onto the easiest 9 numbers. (she's quicker than my mil at them!) HTH Debbie. |

I'm not sure where you can get it, but USCMP (University of Chicago Math Project) has a K curriculum that is based on story problems and pattern block designs, etc. http://everydaymath.uchicago.edu/stu...museum03.shtml http://everydaymath.uchicago.edu/stu...museum04.shtml Here are some ideas you can download in pdf files http://www.wrightgroup.com/index.php...rs/46?SID=2141 -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..

During last off-track period, I printed out some word problems for DS. They weren't too bad. You can find math problems (and many other things in a variety of subjects) as easy or as difficult as you like. You can take a look at the problems, but to print them out, you need to subscribe. I find it's worth my money. |
