Math Math Math

Math-U-See



Can you SEE that she is working with the clock?

It's a block clock...every one of those light blue blocks is 5...this is something that they learn from the very first lesson...so Bear can look across the room and see that I'm holding a 5...or a 10 (dark blue)...or a two (orange) or a one (dark green) or a nine (light green) or whatever... and now that she is solidly counting by 5s it's time to take that knowledge to the next step and build a "BLOCK" clock all by herself.

Not even 6 yet (about 3 weeks) and the kid gets to build a clock and UNDERSTANDS it enough to move the minute hand herself.

I dig Math-U-See.

Raaaalley I do.

See you around...
