Math Revisited


This is the second day in a row we've used dice for math practice. I dislike the word drill. The kids take turns instead of competing for an answer. I've learned that our Buddy gets too caught up in the competition to remember even the most basic of math.

This worked today, but for the occasional too vigorous roll onto the floor or the fit of giggles as they came up with a smarty-pants negative number answer. The Little Man was playing his Jump 'tart with headphones on and didn't ask to join in.

This is, however, something considerably less than a permanent solution. Interesting, though, that the two are on the same level with dice practice instead of a workbook apart on paper!

Yeah, pretty soon he'll be ready to add up the dice too!
