Multiplication Tables Board

This small multiplication board is an excellent way to reinforce multiplication facts to 9 x 9
The child looks at a multiplication equation, thinks of the answer, then checks by lifting up the cube
The board can be used in the same way as the Pythagoras board

Our multiplication machine puts fun math practice right at kids' fingertips
Self-directing machine is totally self-checking--great for independent, skill-building practice
Great for teaching and reinforcing multiplication with numbers 1-9
For ages 6-11 years

The child can quiz himself and learn the multiplication tables.

It engages the child, instead of the child having to sit down and just memorizing facts.

Helps keep the attention of the child. Kids love spending the time pressing the buttons.

It is great for kids to learn, however, you still have to motivate your child to use it :-)

It is available from Amazon:

Pizza Fraction Fun Board Game

Age: From 6 years old

Additional Information:

I am thinking of a way to make learning fractions fun and a board game that we could play during our Family Time. I bought this from Amazon. It contains 11 pizzas.

Initially, J wasn't so keen. We played with it today during our weekly family time to see who can build the most number of pizzas, and J enjoyed it a lot. He requested to play it again twice.

It has different formation of fractions from 1 whole to 1/10:

Directions:

Here is how you play:

Additional Information:

I almost did not notice, but I saw that many of the fractions game are for 6+ years old. Thus, J (7Y1M11D) is old enough to learn about fractions now, and I haven't really started into exploring fractions. We did do some simple lessons on fractions last year though.

It was raining today. We could not go and see the cherry blossom. So we decided to play the Fraction Action Lotto board game instead. Initially, he wasn't keen, but as we started, he actually had a lot of fun. We learned the fraction terminology in Mandarin, and this game is a good practice for him. I won him by completing my lotto just 1 piece ahead of him, so we were very very close, but I was the lucky one to find all my cards :-)

The next time, we will play by matching equivalent fractions :-)

We bought this fraction board game from Amazon:
