Spark your fourth grader’s interest in studying math by using a game he already knows! Math Baseball can be played with two players or two teams. It's a fun and competitive way to review new math concepts and simple computations. All you need is some paper, pencils, and a scorecard.  Math Baseball provides quick practice of math skills in a fun, stress-free way. It's sure to be a "hit" with your fourth grader!

What You Need:

  • 5-6 sheets of paper cut into approximately 40 cards
  • pencil
  • scrap paper for math work, scorecard and baseball diamonds

What You Do:

  1. Begin by making playing cards with your child. Choose a concept your fourth-grader needs to review, such as simple equations. On each card, write an equation (n+5=10). Use your child’s textbook or homework to find examples of these equations to use. Do not write the answers on the cards.

  1. Next, print or write out this scorecard showing innings, outs and runs:
