    Toys, tools etc. to learn basic math or solid foundation?

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    I have a 5 year old and 3 year old. I was wondering whether playing with cuisenaire rods, abacus or other tools would help my children to gain a good foundation in math. I know when I was teaching DS phonics and how to read, it was beneficial for him to play with fridge phonics or bath tub letters. Just wondering what your thoughts are....:glare:

     

    BTW, we practice counting, counting by tens, fives, 1-100 etc.

    Help needed: Do you think the "old" or "new" ATKINS is better?

    What's MSM?

     

    I didn't know there was a "new" Atkins. I must be under a rock!

     

    ETA: Nevermind the asking for highlights of New Atkins. I found all the great reviews at Amazon and they are very detailed!

     

    MSM is Methylsulfonylmethane. A supplement sold at GNC and other stores. There is liquid that you can combine with apple cider vinegar to take as a shot orally like vodka:) MSM is typically used for people with joint problems but supposedly helps tighten skin.

    I personally like "The Children's Bill of Rights" by John Rosemond.

     

     

     

    1. Because it is the most character-building, two-letter word in the English language, children have the right to hear their parents say “No†at least three times a day.
    2. Children have the right to find out early in their lives that their parents don’t exist to make them happy, but to offer them the opportunity to learn the skills they will need to eventually make themselves happy.
    3. Children have a right to scream all they want over the decisions their parents make, albeit their parents have the right to confine said screaming to certain areas of their homes.
    4. Children have the right to find out early that their parents care deeply for them but don’t give a hoot what their children think about them at any given moment in time.
    5. Because it is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, children have the right to hear their parents say “Because I said so†on a regular and frequent basis.
    6. Because it is the most character-building activity a child can engage in, children have the right to share significantly in the doing of household chores.
    7. Every child has the right to discover early in life that he isn’t the center of the universe (or his family or his parents’ lives), that he isn’t a big fish in a small pond, and that he isn’t the Second Coming, so as to prevent him from becoming an insufferable brat.
    8. Children have the right to learn to be grateful for what they receive, therefore, they have the right to receive all of what they truly need and very little of what they simply want.
    9. Children have the right to learn early in their lives that obedience to legitimate authority is not optional, that there are consequences for disobedience, and that said consequences are memorable and, therefore, persuasive.
    10. Every child has the right to parents who love him/her enough to make sure he/she enjoys all of the above rights.

     

    :lol::lol:No seriously. This may not be positive enough...but what a fountain of wisdom!
