I have some free first grade math games. Too, I have a free printable addition and subtraction cut and paste ice cream printable.
Teaching first grade math is about helping your child strengthen basic math skills.
It’s about repeating and interacting counting, place value, word problems, learning about time and money among other skills.
However, because addition and subtraction are two of the basic 4 operations, you need to constantly review.
One of the best ways to review is through games.
For example, a number line is pretty easy to make at home with tape and index cards. By physically using their body to hop to the next number, a child visually sees addition and subtraction.
For addition, a child hops forward and for subtraction they hop backwards. They are learning to count back and count up and how a number line works.
That is just one example of an easy game to teach first grade math.

Young readers follow the famous cubs as they grow from tiny infants to big, bouncing pandas and learn about subtraction along the way.
