Math Memory Game create by me

Grade level: 2nd thru 5th grade
Objective: The students will be able to become more familiar with their number facts. The students will be able to practice addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication problems in the form of a game.
Materials: math flash card, hour glass, white boards to keep score
Direction: The students will need to get into groups of pairs. Each group will have make a choose of addition/ subtraction or multiplication/division cards. The students will have to take turns turning over a purple card, a green card, and a blue card. Once the cards are turned over the students will then need to solve the problem. The student (A) that is solving the problem has 1 minute to do so and the other student (B) needs to keep track of the time using an hourglass. When the time has expired and students (A) has not solved the problem, then student (B) will have the opportunity to solve the problem within 1 minute. If neither student solves the problem then the cards are to be turn back over and it will be the other student’s chance to turn over a purple card, a green card, and a blue cards. The steps will start over with student (B). The student with the most cards will win the game.

Math Anxiety

Parent if your child is struggling with become comfortable with Math you can try some of these tips:

Study - OK, that sounds dumb. Of course you should study.

Don't study too much! Spending too much time going over and over the same stuff won't help and will just overwhelm you.

Calm those fears by treating yourself with calmness. Try to have a set routine

Just think of something that you DO know is the first step in remembering all those lost formulas.

Give yourself a quick stretch and tell yourself you are OK. Take a deep breath and try to break the cycle of the panic.

Work around the panic by finding something on the test that you can do. Gain confidence and then go back and finish the rest of the problems.

Draw a picture. Talk it out. Sometimes just telling someone else about the problem can help break that mental block.

Jump on it. If you are leaving your math homework until last you may be too tired to tackle it.
