Math Lab for Kids: Fun Hands-On Activities for Learning with Shapes, Puzzles and Games (Lab Series)
Calling all homeschool mammas, this one is for you! This book is a wonderful resource that I really am excited about. It is a math lab book filled with just that, math labs! They are simple, straightforward, broken down in small pieces, and fun! That’s right, fun! Of course, I’m a former teacher saying that and a bit of a nerd, but I really think these are math labs that many children will really enjoy.
Each lab in this book is fairly simple to execute and uses few supplies (most of which are common household items like toothpicks). When it comes to worksheets you may need the back of the book includes many that you can just remove or you can head to the website created for this book to print them out again and again. (Click here to check out the Math Lab for Kids Website.) Clever, huh? The labs focus on shapes and mathematical thinking and cover subjects such as tangrams, circuits, fractals and curves. Seriously a book worth checking out if you homeschool or if you want to supplement math learning at home for your child.
