Be sure to review these math families frequently. Have your child illustrate these families using any number of items found in the house ...

coins, m&ms, toys, shoes, buttons, etc.

Make flashcards out of index cards for your child for the math families. Flash your child daily going quickly, cheerfully, and happily.
