Looking for a motivating tool for teaching Math? Dull worksheets and simple flashcards can make math so B-O-R-I-N-G. If your child is struggling to learn basic math concepts, try something more fun, like free computer games on the Internet!
On-line games that are entertaining and fun will be able to motivate your kids so they actually want to learn Math.
Whether you’re a parent looking for on-line games to help your child build math skills, or a teacher in search of a worthwhile computer lab activity, I encourage you to explore the Websites listed below.

When the weather is nice, the kids (and Mom) are itching to get outside and play. I personally like the playing to learn approach. Did you know there’s an outdoor world of math and reading fun that awaits you, and all you need is sidewalk chalk, dice, and your imaginations? Anything we can do inside on paper can be done outside on the driveway or sidewalk, as long as we don’t care if it eventually gets “erased” by rain or sprinklers. Not only do the kids and I get to exercise our brains but we also get to exercise our bodies. I get to stretch my hamstrings and quads as I bend over to draw game boards or numbers, and the kids get to hop, skip, and jump around. Here are a few favorite sidewalk games I’d like to share. You can adapt any of them to the abilities of your children, and multiple ages can play together.

There are several holidays that tend to be easily overlooked, and Secretaries Day is one of those. This holiday is a little-known day that is observed on a Wednesday at the end of April and is actually now referred to as Administrative Professionals Day. Regardless of the nomenclature, though, these career professionals are the backbone of the office and should be honored on their special day. Participating in crafts can be a great way to take note of the very important work that secretaries do for their offices.

Shrek is the colorful main character in the Shrek movies, and a Shrek party makes for a wonderful afternoon for a boy or a girl. Now that Shrek has come out with his third movie, Shrek the Third, Shrek parties are more popular than ever!
A Shrek party is great for any child who loves the Shrek movies. Pre-made invitations may be purchased at any dollar, discount or party outlets supply store. If the party is being thrown on a budget make invitations at home using a mossy green cardstock and attaching Shrek stickers to one side. Write or print the party information on the other side and the guests will be excited to attend the Shrek party.

Congratulations on the 1st Birthday Party of your child. This party should be the best that you have ever organized. There are basics that we need to follow to make sure that we are on the right track throughout the time. For this, you are going to need to set a date for the party and then list down the guests who you are going to invite. Listing down the guests is considered as the most important part of organizing a party, because it will let you know the exact nature of arrangements that you need to make.

There are many concepts of learning in young children. The recently popular “multiple intelligences” concept, though much debated, is the basis for a new software for Christian children in the very early years.
Such software is surprisingly rare. A few programs are available from the major kids’ networks, mainly catering for the slightly older toddler who already recognizes letter shapes and sounds. Many others are either expensive or poorly reviewed. From this lack, the “J is For Jesus” software program was born.
