When it comes to counting by number grouping here is a great way to practice math facts! Hula hoops!
For younger children, counting by five’s can be a daunting task. Have a hula hoop on hand and end each class by calling on volunteers to hula hoop. Each time they are able to get the hoop around their body, the class should call out, “Five!” Continue counting until the hoop falls. The great thing about this activity is that it can be adapted, so students can count by virtually anything-ones, tens, twenties-you name it!
What is the best way to teach math facts? Make it fun!
These hands-on math fact practice activities really “add up” and will resonate with learners. Keep bodies busy just as much as their minds, so that math fact fluency time is never met with a groan again!
