My daughters were both struggling with learning their math facts, and flash cards were too “booooriiing”, so I decided to make it fun and do speed drills with them. I wasn’t sure how this would go over, but when I showed them what we were doing and told them that they would get a prize for completing a series of them, they were ecstatic. Now they are asking me to do math drills every day and they are improving their speed and memorization faster than I ever expected! When I went on the search for some good math drills I found some great printables to share with you!
This is what we are personally using right now:
Spaceship Math (aka Rocket Math) from Dad’s Worksheets – there are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division worksheets as well as on online timer. I spent an entire afternoon printing off entire sections of the worksheets and putting them in binders for my girls.
When they complete a letter set of worksheets they get to mark it off on these really cool check off pages!
Once a sheet is marked off they get a prize! This can be a movie or ice cream date or a special toy they have been wanting. Anything to get theme excited to want to do the work.
Here are some free organization printables and ideas from Rockin’ Teacher Materials on how to organize the Rocket Math System that are used in schools. Since the rockets look similar these printables are great to organize our Spaceship Math Drills!
