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. […]

Decimals and Their Equivalents

This post goes to, and is filed with tags related to focus, attention, frustration, and the simple concept that unless we begin to condition our youngest ones from the very beginning to be willing to comply with the forced parameters we tend to identify with conventional schooling, it seems attempting to integrate even a small […]

24 Hour Clock

We started exploring 24 hour format today, which she’s heard of it before, but only slightly. It remains without relevance at this point, but the concept was part of some game she wanted to play, and so she was exposed. Russ will look for an opportunity to bring it into something of interest for Lily. […]

Fractions Depicted on a Line

Lily is working through 4th and 5th grade level math on Khan Academy’s Mission section. Her comprehension is at about 50% – 60% without much involvement on my part. When a question is presented that she has no comprehension of, she can either choose to indicate that she’s not learned “this” yet, or she can […]

Equivalent – Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Music Intervals

Visualizing equivalent fractions: To understand equivalent fractions it helps to “see” the fractions using something like a grid with shaded and unshaded sections representing the fraction.
