How Many Seconds Have We Lived Here
We decided to round up to 5 years, and then, she pointed out that we had to add a few more seconds to the total because of how long it took us to figure it out. 157,680,400 7 x 5 = 35 70 x 5 = 350 8 x 5 = 40 80 […]
Math
When I look at the expectations of arithmetic and numeracy development for a child between 5 and 10, first to sixth grade, and even beyond, with few exceptions of specifics, Lily demonstrates regularly her comprehension and functional use of the concepts that are expected of these years in conventional schooling. Then, I look beyond these […]

The Table of Elements
While we’ve discovered 118 elements in the physical world, there are 25 (or so) Minecraft elements. This is the beginning of our exploration. Elements as Building Blocks The periodic table is organized like a big grid. Each element is placed in a specific location because of its atomic structure. As with any […]
Tsankawi
And here was our afternoon… We talked about Africa, primarily Eastern Africa, and the region surrounding Kenya, where a friend Lily made last fall spends a fair portion of her time. We also read: We’re exploring these topics, specifically on a global perspective. She’s learned that 100 cents = 1 dollar, and we’re […]
Oh, Balderdash!
This was our classroom this morning. We decided to use the “grown up” side instead of the kid’s side, in effort to even the playing field a bit because it was just the two of us. She did great, and she won, fair and square. We both learned a dozen or more new words […]
Our Unseen World
This is a new series we are watching on Netflix The Electromagnetic Spectrum The heat produced by the Sun travels from the Sun to the Earth via waves known as electromagnetic waves. These waves can vary greatly in their wavelength. Have you ever thrown a rock into a lake? What happens when you throw a […]
Dragonbox Algebra
Some of the stuff we’re learning concerning electromagnetism is exposing Lils to new items: lots of formulas and equations. In our discussions on fractals and visual representations of math (including geometry), we have only scratched the surface of equations, but she’s seen the images/equations, and their results (as the computer generates imagery based upon a […]
Tessellations
What we’re looking at today… Lily’s Tessellation:
