Here is a great resource to help you reinforce what you are teaching in math. SoftSchools.com is chock full of fun math games and math worksheets. They also breaks the games down into categories by grade. Here I will hightlight just a few that we've enjoyed.
Remember, depending on the curriculum you are using, some games may be too advanced (even if they are a grade or two lower) and others in a particular grade may be too advanced. I don't know how they have determined their grade categories. So be sure to check out the game before your child to be sure they have learned the skills, this will help you avoid frustration or discouragement.

Math Lines, Add to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10
You are given a number on a ball. Shoot the ball at the number that, when added together, will equal your target number. I've linked you up to "add to 10." In the example to the left, the ball in the shooter is number 3, shoot it at the number 7 to equal 10. Earn points and advance through levels.
All of the line games are at the top of the page, give them a try!

I LOVE this dry erase book! It's the first non-consumable activity book I've seen that is so much fun and keeps their interest for 15-20 minutes at a time. We use it with our reading and math program for writing practice. Use with Vis-a-Vis markers for easier cleaning.
More practice with Singapore Math. I altered one of the games, here the girls each have a stack of cards 0-10. I shuffled them and set aside 4 random cards in each set. Then gave the remaining cards to the girls. They each had to figure out which numbers were missing and write it on their board. Once they think they are done, I then display the 4 cards I removed and they can check their work. They had a lot of fun with this one and kept asking me to "do it again!"

This is a blank bingo set, 2 playing cards and 24 answer cards to fill to your liking. We play blackout bingo with our 3 & 4 year old. Filling in each box randomly with the alphabet, uppercase on one set then another set with Lower Case, we also do numbers 1-24. It is a fun way to learn letter & number recognition.
We use a set of alphabet flashcards with our bingo playing cards. You can manipulate it any way you like, by saying the sounds and having the kids find the corresponding letter, etc. Have fun!
