GOING ON A PROBLEM HUNT - MATH ACTIVITY

Whenever possible, try to make learning fun!  Perhaps one day instead of doing math problems on a sheet of paper,  cut out fun shapes and put the problems on the back of the shapes.  Attach to walls, windows, doors, cabinets.  The child "hunts" for each problem in order, works the problem, gets an okay that it is correct, and then "hunts" for the next problem.
