Repetition rules
Whether it is addition, multiplication or division a little bit each day goes a long way in developing an understanding of those particular principles.
Context is key
Show how math applies to daily life such as grocery shopping where you could count boxes of pasta, cans of vegetables and so on. Another way to explore math skills that people need in their day to day lives is baking. Following recipes can include time telling skills, fractions and more.
Let the good times roll. Many board games involve math skills but you can also make up silly songs using math that make learning very fun and enjoyable.
If you usually use worksheets try flash cards. Switching things up can make studying less ho hum so if you always use beads or cubes to count with why no try poker chips or even M&M's to stretch those math skills. A change of pace can be refreshing and therefore more interesting to learn.
Practicing math on a chalk board, dry erase board or even on paper with markers can help cement those mathematical concepts. Using different media such as bright markers give practicing a different flair so it is easier to stick with it longer.
