This week we will be introducing the Doubles Facts in our Kindergarten room at our local homeschool group. As I was preparing for the lesson, I looked all around the web for more ideas. I ran into this wonderful idea by Jenae over at I Can Teach My Child. She cut out circles to represent [Read On]

Hello my dear readers! We are working hard on memorizing length measurement conversions. We had fun measuring things around the house and using different measurement units. I created a few resources for my kids to practice and review the conversions. These are the particular conversions we are learning in our local co-op, so that is [Read On]

We will be studying measurement equivalents in Math. I created a few resources for my children to help them learn and memorize these concepts.

Math Laws Review Sheet
April 6, 2013 by 3 Comments
After having studied four different Math Laws, I wanted to put it all together into one sheet so I can review with the kids.

My kids like super heroes and they still like to dress up from time to time (although it is slowing down… they are growing … too fast!) So for the identity law I made up a silly story about a super hero. When they saw the pictures they immediately said with excitement: A Super hero? [Read On]

I made up another silly story to help my kids understand and remember the distributive law.

My kids enjoy playing with [Read On]

Here’s some fun ways to practice geometry! We made our Geometry Buddies Worksheet and each week the kids added a new face. They really enjoyed adding a new face to each shape, it made it more “personable” and fun. We used the video below to sing while they were coloring and adding the face to [Read On]

We have been having fun creating Geometry accessories! Anything we can wear and have fun with as we repeat the geometry formulas. This week we were studying the area of a circle… so we made watches! The kids would walk around the room pretending they were walking at the park. I would “run” into them and [Read On]

Why not have fun while learning Geometry formulas? I decided we needed to turn the rather long and wordy formulas into a more fun and exciting activity… so we made Party Hats!!! The formula is written inside the triangle. As we put them together we would sing a song about the area of a triangle [Read On]
