    :001_smile: HoE is genius. Today she figured out how to add the opposite of a number -- on her own. She hadn't used the green cubes in that way before. She also chose to use the 'symbols' this time on the white board. Her mental capacity has changed so much since the last time she did HoE (6 months ago).

    Dd7 to me this morning (Saturday): "Mom, wake up! You said we could do Hands On Equations today!" Me: "Ok, Let me get my coffee." :tongue_smilie: Aly: "Yipee!" (Pics here.)

    This article is on today's Mindshift blog. Seems appropriate to share in light of this and many other math convos here of late. :) How Do You Spark A Love Of Math In Kids? I'm inspired by Rosie, Crewton, Rachna (Abi's online alg tutor), and others who have showed me how to make math even more fun for my girlies.

    We do tons of hands-on visual math. My dds love it. Dd9 doesn't 'need' the hands-on as much these days -- but is sure is fun! Pics here of BA, SM, TT, Education Unboxed, Crewton Ramone & MUS alg from this week. Dd7 asked if we could do more 'algebra' today. Thank you, Rosie, at Education Unboxed!! :)

    Rosie, On this pic attached you can see part of the bar model for 5^2 - 4^2. I made a simple model and we first filled the model with squares. After she 'saw' the answer with the rods, we erased the squares and I just wrote the numbers. Clear as mud? :tongue_smilie: You gave me the idea in your video on squares.

    Dd7 worked through the problems in Rosie's videos yesterday using both C-rods and MUS blocks -- but not in the same problem. Hope that makes sense. Pics here. ETA: We made SM bar models for some of the problems also.

    Dd7 thanks your dd for the fractions lesson today, Rosie. :) (Yes, my c-rods have the nubbies on the end. Dd wants a set like yours. Thank you, Amazon Prime. :))
