Those of you at the Jacksonville conference Morning of CM Classes session will remember how we simply recited a set of math facts which Sonya wrote on the board. Well, I want to do that, but I’ll neer remember where we are or what we’ve done, so I went searching and found ready-made and nice (yay, I didn’t have to make it!) charts to the 12s!!
I printed them 4 to a page and will be putting them in our family memory work box to be rotated through. Yay for simple. My dd12 and ds9 know their facts, but who knows maybe dd6 and ds3 will simply pick them up this way with nothing else.
Here’s a link to the
Addition – http://www.math-aids.com/Addition/Addition_Facts_Table.html
Subtraction – http://www.math-aids.com/Subtraction/Subtraction_Facts_Table.html
Multiplication – http://www.math-aids.com/Multiplication/Times_Table_Charts.html
Division – http://www.math-aids.com/Division/Division_Facts_Table.html
I thought these might be useful to some of you.

That’s fun to know that you did that in the Conference. =) Thanks for sharing. (I can’t wait for those DVDs!!)
I made these same worksheets last year and made a math box. I posted about it on my blog and linked the free PDF that contains all 4 sets of facts on it. Here’s a link in case that would be helpful to someone as well: http://mysouldothdelight.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/those-pesky-little-math-facts/
I think that the simple review has helped all of us!
Sheraz, that would have save me a lot of colored ink! Thanks for sharing. Do each of your kids have a tracing card? I could print 4 (only 3 needed now) booklets and bind them and they would be the math booklets. I like the idea, but I’m low on ink at the moment!
Do you work on one fact for a while or change it every day if they are facts you already have memerized?
I didn’t see the negative numbers! That’s weird. Sharpie will be my friend!
My dd12 has memorized all facts. Ds9 all but division. Others not at all. I’m thinking I’ll spread out in review slots except for division. This is imply a mini review.
My older kids worked on a sheet for a week or so, then we moved the card. This is not their main memory work, I just thought it would be helpful for staying fresh. My younger kids will most like spend more time on them before I move the card. (I have a 6 year gap between my two “sets” of girls, so often I am doing two schools – it feels like it anyway!) My younger ones will start it “for real” a little later in the year.
I printed one tracing page per child and bound it like you are thinking of. Sometimes instead of tracing it, we use our manipulative bears to “show” it. It just changes things up every now and then.
I didn’t do the negative numbers. I did the subtractions the opposite way. Negative numbers hadn’t been introduced in our math curriculum as such when I made the cards.
The math-aids cards read:
1-2= -1
2- 2 = 0 and so on through 12.
I did mine the other way as families through 12:
2-0 = 2
2 – 1 = 1
It is obvious what the pattern is when you look at them side by side. So I guess it depends on where you are in your math journey…
I just looked closely at the math aids. All are fine but who does subtraction facts like that? Weird. I’ll be printing sheraz’s option.
I have never practised our “facts” that way either growing up or teaching, and after looking at them I thought perhaps I missed that memo somewhere in my life or I was otherwise out of it! Scared me for a minute. I was about to start re-reading the math books to double check, lol. Thanks for reassuring me with your “weird” word, Christie!
This is so great! Like Christie mentioned, many of us at the SCM JAX Conference loved the idea of a quick, daily math facts review. We started school this week, and I’ve used this method everyday so far. The kids are really loving it, and it’s showing me where we need to improve. We’re covering addition, subtraction, and multiplication everyday. I hope dd is picking up multiplication facts just by hearing us review these facts daily. Once again, I’m so grateful to Sonya for a fabulous conference full of simple, yet useful ideas to improve our homeschools!
I started a math memory box as Sheraz showed on her website but I had a question on how you go about reciting it. Do you say the whole equation with the answer shown or do you just give them the first part and have them come up with the answer on their own? Would you just have them say 2+2=4 or 2+2=(?) and have them come up with 4? I get when they are tracing the equations to have the whole thing writen out so they can see/feel all of it, but do you still do that when they already know the facts?
