What is the solution? Well how about consolidating math & games together into maths games? There are a number of excellent opportunities to do that by instructing them some interesting math board games, card games and game sheets as well as several other ideas you can create in your home.
This way of teaching was used as a means to successfully educate kids lots of times. My favorite was that the card games especially when we played for cash, and my amount skills improved and my pocket cash!! You might even discover the child isn't aware they're being educated or performing mathematics because it appears as a fun game they will want to win.
