Math Fun!

Some days it just works out that we do one subject for the entire day, usually it is Reading, Science or Social Studies. Today was Math Day! We read many living books of various math related ideas, watched a math movie, played dice addition, domino addition, measured things, worked on estimating and created an addition lapbook.

Kalie creating. She is very particular about how she wants things to be. (Yes, my dining room table almost always looks like this. LOL!)



The cover. The fun foam numbers are left over from teaching preschool (years ago). The numbers 6 and 10 are white and they would not show up when I took the pictures. She drew faces on all of the numbers. Next to each number are small round stickers equal to their value.



One set of the flash cards that are tucked into each pocket.



Each pocket has dots equal to their number.



Most of the day was spent working on this lapbook and playing with the flash cards. We probably have 6 or 7 sets of addition flash cards, yet we continue to create more. Some of them are on rings. We have dry erase ones. At least 3 sets are in lapbooks. We have some in ziploc bags. Kalie likes a variety. LOL!

In about 2 years I will have wonderful resources for someone just starting to homeschool. LOL!

Today was a great day!

Subtraction Facts Lapbook

Today Kalie finished her subtraction facts lapbook from homeschool share. She loved it. Where every possible I had her write the answers to the problems. She glued all of the components to the folder. I made her "pass" her subtraction test before she could put the book together.

The inside. She has plans to decorate it with more stickers after our next trip to the craft store.

Addition Fact Lapbook

Today Kalie finished her addition lapbook from homeschool share. She loved it. Where every possible I had her write the answers to the problems. She glued all of the components to the folder. It was one folder with an extension on top. She was so very proud, as was I! She was so excited to show it off. We had to run an errand with Kasie today. When Kalie showed it to her we realized that on the underside of the extension flap she had glued all of the components on upside down. She was so disappointed. I love it. It shows who she is. At the end she started to decorate with a few stickers and hand drawn pictures. I know as she gets more into it, her lapbooks will progressively get more creative. I will try to attach pictures. Wish me luck as I am new to this.

The back. You can't see it but she drew a picture of a math teacher with numbers surrounding him.



The inside with the extension cover closed. The colored squares are number stickers that she made into an addition sentence.
