Math Day


What makes a day a Math day? An excited Student with a love for numbers!

We reviewed our time-telling skills on the clock, practiced sorting by tens with pink cotton balls, and ended our Math madness with some calendar and money work. We counted the coins and put them in the correct column on our place value chart. Our calendar creation is a count-down to the expansion of our family... 39 shapes to mark off, one for each day.

Our History lesson came from Genesis ch 6. Student learned the third son of Adam & Eve, Seth. And what fun it was to talk of why that brother and sister had to marry each other to increase the numbers of the Earth's peoples! She is already over wanting to marry her own brother, so the timing was good for this lesson.

Student also learned about Enoch being spared from death, and being raised into heaven. And a piece of always-useful Bible trivia... the oldest man in the Bible is?



Student: I had a fun day. I enjoyed making my calendar. It was fun counting the cotton balls. It was pretty amazing, too, about Enoch rising to heaven without dying first. I don't think that will happen to me.
