Math is a favorite subject in our house. Of my four homeschool-age kids, three of them actually love doing their math lessons. Strange, I know. And while I am not a “fan” of math, I can do it well enough to get by. However, I know one thing…addition and subtraction are the basic building blocks, so we need to start there.
One thing I have learned in the last 10 years of homeschooling is that if they do not at the very least grasp the concept of addition and subtraction, everything else will just be that much more difficult. Which makes it vital that they not only grasp the concept, but I believe memorize their math facts.
After seeing our children start struggling in their math work this year, we cracked down on memorizing their math facts. We have always encouraged them to be independent in their math studies and while they could do the math, they didn’t really know it. Now after fighting us for a couple of months, they have memorized their addition and subtraction facts through and through.
In the last few weeks, we’ve seen their math scores drastically improve as well as how long it takes them to complete their work. And while speed isn’t the goal, it does help them see how far they have come since memorizing the basic math facts.
Whether your kids are just learning their addition and subtraction facts or they are reviewing them, these FREE printables are perfect to add to your homeschool.
