Right now we are doing Mequion math, which I really love, but since it is completely conceptual we are struggling with the basics. My girls are needing to count everything in order to do their work because they haven't really memorized much at all. Here are the few supplements we do have: School house rock!; Kumon simple multiplication (we are just starting), wrap-ups

What I am really wanting is a FUN memorization tool.
I pretty much don't want to do it if it isn't going to be relatively fun. :yes

Any ideas are welcome!!! Thanks.

We play games and use the books Games for Math by Peggy Kaye. We also like Sum Swamp (I added multiplication/division dice as well as 9 and 12 sided dice to make the numbers higher.)

Other things we have done:
Gone out side and shut a basket after solving each math fact.
using side walk chalk to write and solve math problems
used math flash cards and added them to games board games and have them solve a problem before they move to the next place.
