Water Balloon Math

No time for flash cards keeps the learning going in the summer drawing mathematical equations on water balloons and creating hula hoop targets featuring the optional sums.  The kids need to figure out the answer and then throw the water balloon at the correct target.  Another idea would be to include a plastic sum in the water balloons so the kids can check their answers once they pop.

Good for ages 6 and up.
