Junie Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! I had a really weird dream. I was trying to hang a closet organizer for dd12, my neighbor was trying to get a Coke machine put into his basement, Chuck Schumer was requesting blueberry pancakes and Joni Ernst wanted Mr. Goodbars. And somehow this all made sense until the moment I woke up. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth can he master and then forget 2+5, but he remembers how to skip count by 7s all the way to 7x12?! Math Mammoth taught a 2-person card game where you divide the deck (or decks - number cards only) between the two people and each person lays down a card. You add the numbers together and the person who calls out the correct sum gets the cards. Whoever has the most cards at the end wins. You can do it with multiplication, too. I suppose you can even do it with multiple players if you want to add more than two numbers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highschoolers are dressing up for a "Fall Party" at tutorial tomorrow. Dd17 is going as Sans (a character from a video game), ds15 is going as Sherlock Holmes, Dd14 will be a snowy owl, and dd11 a chef. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they'll trick or treat. It's going to be cold and possibly wet.

Wheres Toto Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Morning. I'm having a slow relaxed morning since my first class isn't until 11:30 and dd asked to work out tomorrow instead of today. It was a good day to sleep in. It's gloomy and rainy and icky, we're getting remnants of zeta today. This weekend is going to be spent cleaning up from the construction. I need to deep clean EVERYTHING. I'm sure I won't get it all done but I have to at least get to the main spaces, even if I don't get all the nooks and crannys. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It was quite warm this morning, almost 70*, but will get steadily colder through the day. Gas was only $1.77 at my favorite gas station this morning! Near my house, the gas is running $2.37. It seems I am gradually starting to earn a little mailbox money again. Most of the purchases will be by string quartets and ensembles that perform for corporate and social events, and maybe some lucky groups are getting Christmas gigs. Could be by the end of November I will earn enough to buy everyone a popsicle! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I found a math app today for extra drilling. Not timed but I can choose which arithmetic functions and how high the numbers go. Throws confetti and cool noise for correct answers and buzzes for wrong answers and keeps track of how many correct/wrong answers in the top corner. It just keeps going and going as long as you want to keep playing. Oldest keeps asking to play again and was even doing more white board math to earn the privilege. 😁 FYI: white board math is just my term for me picking problems from his textbook assignment and writing them on a white board easel for him to solve. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
