Math Ideas, Anybody?

We started working on addition today by marking out a number line on the floor.

Of course, the Grinch had to be involved.

 Math is my least favorite subject, and I'm worried about passing my dislike on to my boys. 

 What fun ideas do you have for teaching math to kids?

Fun Weekend Game Q&A

I've been trying hard to focus on my kids' own creativity this week and haven't made it much farther in the Teaching Your Children activities.  To catch up this weekend, we'll be practicing how to ask a question:

When it's convenient and fun, name a category and ask your child to form a question about it. 

 For example, if the category is food, they may ask,

 "What food are we having for dinner?" or "How do grapes grow?" 

 Make the game spontaneous, encourage them, and then be available with the answers.  

If it feels comfortable, introduce them to the question words,

"What," "When," "Where," "Who," and "How."

Have fun and come back to let me know what questions you heard!
