Math ~ week 2 & 3

This is a two week combo post

Due to the fact that last week

everyone was infected with the...

flu

We started out our week with a story 

and we were about to do a division week

then a multiplication week.

instead, with the sickness and all

we did two weeks of multiplication.

And took it easy.

 When the weather started to warm and everyone was slowly

recuperating we had to enjoy some serious 

MUD

mud pies of course

Then we got down to business...

We really worked the multiplication. :)

We solely did the 2's, 5's, and 10's

I have to say he thoroughly understands

the concept of this process.  It is so fun

to actually watch the light bulb go on.

Holding his brother and working in his 

MLB

Saint Patrick's day drawing :)

Here we did a counting by 5 game.

Life is not easy when everyone falls ill.

I am so grateful for their health!!

Still loving her new brother!

next week we celebrate Spring

with weeks of nature study.

until then

Math ~ week 1

This week we were sent back into 

the world of numbers.

(Matthew's absolute favorite subject)

We spent our time reviewing 

addition and subtraction.  

I told stories in order to bring life 

into our numbers. 

Then we drew and  practiced our 

relatively new skills.

He wrote out all numbers up to 100

 and practiced problems.

The subtraction story

The addition story

We also started gearing up for the times tables.

we counted by twos, fives, and tens.

This week we added a little science by locating and 

tracking a neighborhood raccoon.

Then we drew pictures and tracks.  This one is Wesley's.

Next week more math :)

until then
