Stretch your child's grasp of math with a geoboard
Geoboards can help kids learn basic geometry. You can download a geoboard app for your child, or make a simple geoboard at home. On a 12-inch square piece of wood, hammer 10 rows of 10 nails one inch apart (use graph paper as a guide). Next, put out a variety of rubber bands in different sizes. Now, have your child stretch them around the nails to answer questions, such as: Can you make a triangle? How many triangles can you make? What is the largest square you can make?
