Here are some ways that your parents can practice with you! 

• Practice skip counting in the car while you are waiting for the red light to change to green.
• Use beans or buttons to show different ways to make the same number.
• Use fractions to figure out how many slices of pizza each person in your family ate!
• Play "I'm thinking of a number"  Say the number in extended form..."This number has 6 tens and 8 ones"
• Have someone tell you an addition fact, and you tell them two related subtractions facts.
• Use flash cards to practice your addition facts quickly.  Don't spend too much time practicing the ones you already know!
• Estimate EVERYTHING around you! About how many cookies in the bag? About how many pennies in the pile? About how many steps to the front door?
• Count the change your parent gets at the store.  Did they get the correct change?  How do you know?
• Counting forward and backwards
