[quote=Anonymous]I have a first grader who naturally is really interested in numbers, so we end up doing lots of math enrichment, but avoid things like worksheets. His four year old brother gets a big dose of it too. They both are really into it, have great number sense, and now seek out math - but it's because it's all fun to them. We play games with real money, ask them to figure out how many more minutes until bedtime, lots of math riddle word problems at the dinner table, cards and other games, cooking, etc. After reading, when we cuddle in bed, sometimes we'll do more riddles or skip counting challenges. They now see math as a fun puzzle and seek it out. I'd drop the worksheets and try to find activities that you can do together that get her to think of math as fun again (or just drop it for awhile).[/quote]
