Using math worksheets is great for learning but don’t forget to add in other learning items as well. Some kids may learn better with their hands by using objects to enforce their learning. These are great for adding and subtracting.
It’s so important to remember that kids learn differently. Some kids learn by working solely on worksheets, some kids learn by repetition while others learn by using their hands and counting or moving objects.
