Math Worksheets and Drills

Overuse breeds contempt, as evidenced by how unfashionable it's become in most American schools to utilize worksheets and drills in teaching math to kids.

Actually, it's important to attend to both sides of the pedagogic coin when teaching and learning mathematics: discovery and memorization. Anything less, and ... trouble ensues.

Currently, the discovery side of the coin is in vogue and generally gets adequate attention.

For the foreseeable future, it may be up to parents to supply the drill and worksheet components that lead to memorization of basic math facts and mastery of essential processes.

Below are some good resources:
