SHAKE OUT 2 MATH GAME


Saxon Math has the children doing drills each day.  To make it more fun, I printed them out into small pieces of paper and put them into a small container.  Each day the child can shake out 2.  When all have been done, the process if repeated.


Count by 2’s to 300.
Count by 3’s to 30.

Count by 10’s to 400.
Count by 5’s to 100.

Count backward from 50 by 5’s.
Say the even numbers to 100.

Say even numbers backward from 50.
Say odd numbers to 49.

Say odd numbers backward from 49.
Etc.
