While I was setting up and organizing, the little kids played with some magnet puzzle books (called Magnix)…Tori has the farm animal counting. I had forgotten we even had these and the kids were pretty excited to start their day with “toys”!
We have 6 math equations every day, based on the calendar. So, for March 6, the girls wrote out:
- 5+1=6
- 1+5=6
- 3+3=6
- 8-2=6
- 7-1=6
- 6-0=6
…or a similar variation on this. It’s just extra math practice.
I hope to work up to this Calendar Math board here and here soon. Here is a great calendar math resource!
We’re still enjoying our TouchMath. Did you see my Touchmath review? We’re working on the money unit right now. The girls beg to use the computer game! My dad sent the kids these fun coin banks that digitally count change and those are a big hit!
Katie and Tori really likes these Shamrock Place Value puzzles. I liked that they’re free!
We’re finishing up our Singapore math and still going strong with Life of Fred Butterflies. We play math games and the girls love to play with Kumon math workbooks or fun workbooks from the Target Dollar Spot in their free time.
Thanks for posting on Math Monday Blog Hop! I enjoyed seeing what your kiddos are up to!
combining math and playing makes the kids wan’t to do it more , the kids are enjoying and having fun with it :)
