Pattern Minds

My son finds the reasons for calculations-we don’t have to offer or come up with opportunities for practice. He also determines his item methods for calculation, asking for help when something is elusive. We have given all our kids Base 10 from the beginning, and this definitely informs how they calculate, especially in their heads. […]

Algeria, Texas, Scale, Ratio, and the United States-Faster

Lils is diving into the Stack the Countries game, which not only focuses on global location/geogrpahy, but also political facts, information, languages, and customs. For every 8 or so questions she answers accurately, she is awarded another country across the globe. So far, she has about 20 countries, giving her at least one within every continent. […]

Calculating Travel Time

For this part of the game, she had to determine the following: Distance to be traveled Speed of travel Duration of rest/stops Number of stops Total hours for journey, considering distance, speed, and stops Initially, we discussed the equivalent between 8kmh and 8mph, then discussed the idea of figuring out how long it would take […]
