You have to just 'love' this online math text we're using!! It's just wonderful, and the most exciting part is you can use the concept anywhere. The other day we were in the car, and since most of the math is all oral, I just started it up.
What are 2 balls and 3 balls? (Old English, too funny!)
What do 3 balls and 3 balls make?
What do 3 apples and 3 apples make?
How many more are 6 apples than 3 apples?
How many more are 6 apples than 2 apples?
What is 3 and 3?
What is half of 6?
How many kids can have 6 apples?
How many ones in 6?
How many can have 2 apples?
How many are 2 times 3 apples?
How many 2's in 6?
What is 1/3 of 6?
What is 2/3 of 6?
What is 3/3 of 6?
This is just an early lesson!!! The kids 'love' it!! Then, when it introduces double digit numbers, it automatically introduces place value with it!! Next week, it will be going into Roman Numerals-wow!! Rachel is moving right along..I think Gracie is kind of lost, but participates the best she can. Since I don't really teach 'formal' curriculums till around age 9 or so-I let her pick up what she gets. She really is picking up a lot!!
Today we're reading: The Last Princess, by Fay Stanley. It is a story of the last Hawaiian princess. Should be interesting!

Would love to have that, is it a game online? Timeattack or one you bought?
Timezattack has a free version, but if you buy it there will be far more levels (there will still be math levels on the free version, but no fancy graphics), the paid version has a level where you're going through..lava all over, great graphics!!! the free one, you're just making your way through the dark corridors of ..what looks like a castle. still cool!!
