Math is mostly hands on, although each has a workbook that they do a page out of each day. Math is so fun, and I want them to have fun with it too. Chase loves finding patterns in numbers and Lily loves the different manipulatives.
Here's a week in maths:
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division with manipulatives
Place value and adding large numbers on the abacus
Sometimes, working out of the workbook
Sometimes math is more abstract, like visualizing the numbers 1-10, smallest to biggest, with the cylinder blocks
Geometry patterns, shapes, symmetry, and also fractions
Geometry building- shapes, angles, lines and points
Money addition and subtraction
I like doing our math rather eclectic like this, with no real outline. Several types of maths get done each day, so there is a lot of repeating, reinforcing, and review. And, more importantly, they are having fun and enjoying maths.
