Nerf dart gun math

B was having fun shooting Nerf darts at the window this morning and I thought, maybe I can incorporate some math into this activity. You know, homeschoolers always trying to make everything educational. :) So, I stuck little sticky notes onto the window with various numbers on them. I then called out an equation such as "What's 9 times 5?" and B would have to shoot the answer on the window. He had a lot of fun with this. We did multiplication, addition and subtraction.J came downstairs and joined in the fun too.I'm thinking this dart gun could really come in handy! ;)
