Our 4th Block Math!

So I couldn't help but post some pics of the kiddos during our last couple weeks of schooling! We have been having fun with our digits..and then moved on the the Miss Many More. We continued with the story making our first number chart. Cedar finished with 0-100 on his chart. he loved writing the numbers but liked counting berried even more!!!




WE decided to count blueberries all the different ways Miss Many More counted her fruits for her pies...1-10, 2, 4, 6, 8...3,6,9,12,.....10,20,30,...and 5,10,15
by the time we counted enough berries to fill the pie pan we had counted 450 in many ways. 
 The pie before the toppings were added....

Orien and Cedar love baking!!!


                                                              Happy kiddos eating pie before bed. By the end of the week Cedar had prepared his pie, packed his bags and we heading to his first sleepover at his friend Benjamin's house. Only seems right his first sleepover would be with his oldest friend!
The is Cedars journal about sleeping over with Benjamin. They slept on the bottom and Annalise, Ben's sister, slept on top!!! He had a blast and keeps asking when we can do this again!!
 Our next week with Enki Math was a story called " A Contest for the Crown" a great story that lightly played with greater/less than..
Cedars led drawing from the story. You can see the "greater true King" was able to open the magic box to retrieve the box. The false king on the other side of the box we left trying to open it. Cedar added horese and the King in the castle as well.


After we worked with the drawing we got out a greater/less than piece and talked about the 2 kids. Cedar quickly caught on which way the symbol should be facing...He still caught on when I asked him things like what if I said Mean, selfish he quickly switched to show the false king would have been greater in those.
We also played a game throughout the week with a cardboard symbol and I would lay out 2 things from "which stuffed animal is more red, to which set of dominoes has more dots, which sibling is oldest, tallest...he loves games!
We ended that week with numbers and again he knew right away which way to write the symbols.
a great week it has been. We are ready for our last week of Enki Math before taking a break for holidays and travels.
