I loved playing Memory (or Concentration) when I was growing up.  If you are unfamiliar with the game, all of the cards are face down on a table and you take turns turning over a two at a time to get a match.  It’s a great game for improving (you guessed it) memory. We have a few different versions, but I thought it would be fun to make our number game to work on math skills.

1. Use notecards or cut cardstock to make twenty cards.
2. Have your child write the numbers 1-10 on ten cards.
3. Have your child put stickers on the other ten cards.  One sticker on the first card, two on the next, and so on.
4. Play Memory by matching up numerals with the correct number of stickers.
