Children are expected to learn fast math facts. They want your child to be able to add 2 digit numbers quickly and in their heads. This helps build a foundation of good Math skills. A great way to practice fast facts is to use flashcards. At my house, we used flash cards when my son was little to teach him his numbers and letters. Now, we use flash cards to work on his addition.

Make using the flashcards a game. If it’s a chore they will resist. Put the flashcards on the table and give an answer, then have your child find the equations that equal that number. In addition to games, show your children how you use Math facts every day. You can have your child help you at the store to find how much something costs. ( Round to the whole number, no cents.) Ex- I want to buy a bag of salad and a box of cookies. The salad cost $2 and the cookies cost $4 how much is that?

Take time practicing and memorizing Math facts with your child. Help your child know these Math facts.

What are basic Math facts?

Definition of basic facts is any number or mathematical fact that can be instantly recalled without having to use a strategy to solve it.

You want your child to develop automatic recall of the basic addition and subtraction facts in early elementary school. As they move forward, by the end of fourth grade, they will learn to recall multiplication facts as well. The basis for all future math skills starts with learning simple addition facts.

You want your child to be able to answer single-digit addition problems quickly and in their head. This is the building blocks for future math success.

Helpful tips for your child to learn Math facts

1. Use Flashcards

Flashcards help develop and improve memory.

2. Make Math a game

This will help make learning fun and not a chore. If children are just playing a game, they don’t even realize they are learning. When kids are engaged they are more likely to learn more. If you get kids up and moving you are teaching math through mind and body connection. A whole-body approach is the best way to learn.

3. Show how Math is used in everyday life

Something that is hard for many children to understand is “why is this important for me?” When you take your child shopping, have them help you count the items and add everything together. When you cook, have your child help you. If they want ice cream from the ice cream truck, have them figure out how much they need for the ice cream they want. Anyway, you can show your child that math is being used.
