Domino Math




Dominos are a great way to learn math skills. If you don't have your own dominos, you can print these ones out. Laminate for extra durability. You can play a regular game of dominos with your child or use them to practice math facts. One simple idea is to ask your child to find all the dominoes which add up to 5 (0+1, 1+4, 2+3) for example. They could group the dominoes - how many add up to zero, how many add up to 1, how many add up to 2 and so on.

Your child can practice more with these domino worksheets.
