Here’s a fun way to practice math facts AND get out the wiggles that your child may have during the hour. Both you and the child that you mentor will make a fist with one hand and pound it in the palm of the other hand 2 times as you say “Jumping Jack”. On the count of 3 instead of pounding your fist you will say “Flash” and flash a number 1-10. Your mentee will then add your number and their number together. Once they have given the correct sum they will do that number of jumping jacks. It’s simple, it’s fun AND it’s educational! Thanks to my seven year old son for teaching this new idea to me!!
