The first time my daughter and I made it through her math without fighting....
For a creative, math resistant, art-loving kid, I highly recommend a bead frame. This one was $5 at Tuesday Morning. To use it on normal math, you first need to do a lot of practice with her on simple addition so she can get used to "exchanging."
Example: Put 8 on the frame, then add 4 more. 1, 2, exchange, 3, 4. you should have one blue bead and six yellow.
Do that until she can start bringing you the answer in another room. "Go add 15 plus 7 and come back."
We use it for counting money, adding with carrying, skip counting, etc.
GLORIOUS.
