We read through some books about telling time and did some foldables for math notebooking. It was great fun!
Math journaling about telling time!
The girls glued their pages and foldables into their math journals and we reviewed what we’ve done the last couple weeks.
Oreo Math: Mean, Mode, Median, Range
You can get the fun Math notebook here. A plethora of math ideas to have fun!
We learned about averaging. Alex colored and listened.
We stacked Oreos and worked with the numbers of our highest stacks.
We figured out mean, mode, median, and range.
I did a little extra work with Elizabeth later.
It’s harder than it looks.
Found your blog from HNS. I love your list of living math books at the bottom. Do you just add this (the books and journal) into your normal math studies now and then? Or is this what you do for math?
We use Singapore, which is a great curriculum. But my 7 year old son is not a math person. His brain is not geared in that direction. We actually held off using a formal curriculum until 6 1/2. But I am now on the look out for ideas to make math more fun and meaningful. I think a combo of Singapore and “living math” would help.
We use Singapore Math too from 1st through 6th. My eldest is now totally using Life of Fred since she’s not a math person either. My younger girls use Singapore 1B, Life of Fred, living books, and the math journals. Some days, they beg to do all of it and it exhausts me! ;)
Update: for high school, we’re using Videotext.
