Mega-Math

Today Zeke and I went about some homeschool business with a vengeance. Through no fault of his, I have gotten somewhat behind in the math lessons. During the school months, the plan calls for 12 brief lessons. I have found that the lessons last anywhere from 5-20 minutes. Today we completed 7 lessons and we almost caught up. We're now doing April lessons in April. Yippee!

It was a lot of fun. He's doing Saxon Math, Homeschool edition. Their program uses a lot of manipulables to teach the math subjects in a very concrete way. Today we got to use pattern blocks, linking cubes, teddy bear counters, and a deck of cards [he learned how to play "War."] He also took two exams and did pretty well. He can count to 100 by ones and 10s. But he got stuck at 100. He thought the next one was 200. I'll work on that. Meanwhile, I have a migraine from massive math moments in the morning.
