There's no doubt about it, math is bound to be more fun when it's hands-on. There are countless materials you can use as manipulatives for counting and sorting, but my favorite, BY FAR, is candy! Obviously, this can not be an everyday occurrence, (though my son asks for "Skittles Math" everyday).

Understanding the Distributive Property {FREE Lesson!}
I distinctly remember the week in 7th grade pre-algebra that was spent learning and (supposedly) understanding the distributive property. I remember this week so vividly because, for some reason, it made NO sense to me. None. At. All.
