Math	You could easily make FLASH CARDS to help reinforce these skills. LINKS to LEARN! FLASH CARDS (Addition and Subtraction fact practice! Try it...How did you like it?) First graders are asked to continue to practice their math facts in addition and subtraction. Also, count money every chance you get, especially when your child wants to buy something that only takes a little change to buy. How powerful would that be to tell you child, you can only buy it if you can count out the exact change? A little motivation never hurts!
