I am trying to spark my son's interest in math - without much luck. He does well with counting (to 100 by both ones and by tens) but has no interest in learning about adding or subtracting or anything like that. I have tried to integrate it into things, like when we are cooking or building with blocks - but he only ever want to count. Yet he does the math himself sometimes - like I ask him to eat 5 bites more, he counts them down but lately is saying "that is 2, so I have....3 bites more!"
I got him some dino cards that involve counting and deciding who has the most dinos. He enjoys those alot.
I recently saw a plastic counter set that was based on the life cycle of the butterfly - and he is all about science so I think he might enjoy that...
I am looking for ideas, games, toys, and websites (he LOVES playing on sprout!) that will help spark the interest and make basic math FUN.
Any suggestions? TIA!
