With most of our textbooks for Maths completed for the year, we're changing direction and using a more 'living books' approach to our maths.
Over the past few months I've collected a few of the Sir Cumference books and yesterday both children enjoyed Sir Cumference and All the Kings Tens. Then out came our place value chart from Scholastic* and a discussion of infinity.
This all works beautifully with the Sonlight Science 3 book we're also beginning to use, Usborne Science Encyclopedia. The first pages talk about counting and numbers. Perfect!!
Maestro is also reading the Life of Fred: Fractions book. The first few chapters have been a bit easy for him, but it's fun and there are lots of other concepts built into the story telling which we really like. It's a fun way to finish of the year's work and recap concepts we've covered so far. I'm sure we'll come across many new things as we delve further into the book.
