joannqn Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 DD9 completed Math-U-See Epsilon lesson 7, pages A and B. It covered comparing fractions with unlike denominators. DD7 completed Math-U-See Epsilon lesson 28 test. The lesson covered using additive and multiplicative inverse to solve for the unknown when there is a fractional coefficient (ie. 4/15w + 7 = 19). There were also problems from previous chapters and years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolash Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 DS 9 is on lesson 47 in Saxon 6/5. Today's lesson was on fraction of group stories (2/3 of the 30 team members scored a goal. How many did not score, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeTea Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 LoF Fractions, chapters 9 & 10 (very short). Comparing Fractions worksheet A from math-drills.com. Sat with me in a bank office talking interest while I was in there moving money around and getting a CD. Read Math Curse by Jon Scieszka on the way home from the library, but I noticed she didn't do all the math problems in there yet.:) Ratios/proportions practice when we fiddled with a cookie recipe. Fairly typical math day, except the cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 DS 15 is perusing Life of Fred Geometry and Trig and looking up mathy things of interest on wikipedia. (He does this for fun?:confused: :lol: ). DS 12 did Teaching Textbooks prealgebra lesson 93. It was titled "Undoing in Reverse Part 1". DD 9 did Singapore 3A (US ed.) lesson 31, multiplying by 6 DS 6 did Singapore 1A (US ed.) ex 55 & 56, recognizing patterns and making tangrams. He's almost ready to start 1B! ETA: We did make 3 bean salad and baked cookies and discussed some measurement conversions. (4 TBS = 1/4c etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3boys_mom Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Math today was start of a new unit. Addition and subtraction of 6s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Diva finished unit 14 in Saxon 7/8. I need to look at her test and see if she needs any other units done before skipping ahead to unit 18 or so. She gets bored VERY easily with math...picks up concepts within 5 questions or less. I keep having to test her to see where she's at. The Littles were counting beans, adding, subtracting and matching shapes today. And playing Candyland.

nmoira Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) What is the Crytoclub? Is it a workbook, text, or book?It's a textbook with a free downloadable workbook (hard copy also available). All exercises are listed in the text, but it's convenient to have them laid out for ready for solving in the workbook. The publisher will also email a free teacher's guide/solutions manual upon request. Your math work looks so different (and interesting)... could you post a few links for where to buy, or how to know what to buy???DD the Elder is in a holding pattern for a couple years before starting algebra. Here's what we've used and plan to use: Challenge Math -- Zaccaro Becoming a Problem Solving Genius -- Zaccaro Can You Count in Greek? (this was great fun) Alien Math Piece of Pi some units from MEP (e.g. nets and surface area) selected bits from Mathematics 6 -- some new material, some review Warm Ups are selections from: Venn Perplexors and other puzzles from MindWare Brain Maths (2 volumes) from SingaporeMath.com Math Express from SingaporeMath.com It's Alive and It's Alive and Kicking from Prufrock Press (these are OK) Singpore CWP other math puzzle books Logic Countdown, Logic Liftoff, Orbiting With Logic (Prufrock Press) plus a very few review questions or facts drill (e.g. squares to 15^2, basic fraction/decimal conversion, powers of 2, etc.) and I'm still looking.... while waiting for the Life of Fred pre-algebra books. They should be great fun. :) Edited September 29, 2009 by nmoira too many words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 13yo did TT Pre-Algebra Lesson 13: Dividing Whole Numbers with Zeroes. 9yo missed math today. The plan was MathQuest 4, p. 30 & 31: Adding Groups of 10, Estimating Sums. 6.5yo did MathQuest 2, p. 84: Estimating and making groups of 10.

IsabelC Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Mine are math unschoolers at this stage. Today my 6yo pondered how fascinating it is that no matter what numbers you try, two odd numbers always add up to an even number. My 4yo practised counting and found that she can doctor the result if she counts in halves. They both learned that a dozen is 12 and a bakers dozen is 13.

swellmomma Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I did not see this post yesterday, but yesterday the older 2 each did 2 lessons in horizons(review of add/sub/mult facts, intro to fractions, and some geometry/symmetry ques), and my ds6 did 2 pages in MUS Primer(introduction of the 100s place value). Today is our fun math day and they are using pattern blocks along with cards to follow to make the designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 My older son is doing CLE Math 4 - Light Unit 405 Lesson 8. It includes borrowing in your head as the new concept. Also has time patterns, volume in cubic cm, multiples of 11, area, radius, diameter, simplifying fractions, segments, lines, decimals, and double digit multiplication, and word ploblems. (CLE is spiral, obviously). My younger son is doing CLE Math 1 - Light Unit 104, Lesson 68. It includes counting by 10's, new facts 5+3 and 3+5, oral word problem, writing numbers by place value, measurement using hands and feet, 1/2 fraction, various addition and subtraction, fact families, completing a number line, telling time to 15 after the hour, money (dimes, nickels, pennies).

dirty ethel rackham Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ds15 is in Singapore NEM2 and did his second revision (review test). It covered solving linear equations, coordinates, simultaneous linear equations, inequalities, congruent and similar triangles. Ds13 is also in NEM2 and did quadratic equations and quadratic factorization (or factorisation as they spell it:).) DD9 is using Singapore primary math and she did a chapter review on time intervals and capacity in metric. She also recited her multiplication 4's and 5's while doing jumping jacks (partly to warm up, partly to get oxygen to the brain, and partly to make it more fun.)

LinRTX Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yesterday we did little math -- we are gone to a fine arts school all day doing choir, art, and speech. My youngest does a math review sheet while her older sister is in class. This is both to review and to keep her busy until her class starts. Today: dd16: Saxon Advanced Math lesson 84 (something to do with drawing sinusoids) dd9 : Saxon 6/5 lesson 38 Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
