Minnie (me) (K) has been doing 1st grade math along with her regular kindergarten math and today she had to do congruent shapes. (shapes that are the same size and shape) Of course to Super Boy this looked like fun, so he wanted to join in the fun as well. Geoboards use geobands (aka rubber bands) so, after we put our safety goggles on, we were good to go!
I told the kids what shape to make and they had to make them, but also had to make them congruent, so they had fun making their shapes match!
After we were done, Minnie (me) was working with her counting bears to do her 10 factors. (numbers that equal 10) She is loving finding out the answers with these cute, adorable little bears! She is getting so good at it, that she BEAR-ly uses the bears! OK, I know that was bad!
So while she was working on that, Super Boy wanted to do something fun too. Since he had not put his geoboard away yet, I decided I would use it another way! I would say a letter and he had to use the geobands to make that letter. Once in awhile we would have to duck from a flying geoband, but other than that, he did great and had fun!!!
After his geo-letters, he went and started his math puzzles. These are great because there are three ways of doing them. You can count the items and then find the number answer, which will fit the puzzle or you can also do addition or subtraction. He did these while Minnie (me) was finishing up her math lesson! It was a great way to keep him busy and also learning some math as well. It's great when you can turn learning into something fun!
