For fun and because it's so cute, there's a page from BA that he did at 5y8m old... and I saved it so it was one of his nicer-looking pages. He turned those workbooks into "art," lol. I like it though because you can sort of see his thinking in his work. There's a page of pre-algebra challenge problems I coped out for him at 6y6m as a makeshift worksheet during the transition from BA to AoPS. It looks like he lost his minus sign in one of the problems, but it was there in the original. It just didn't come through in the picture. The next one is his handwritten work for a writing problem in Algebra A at 7y2m. This was significantly better organized than his work for a regular problem because he knew he'd need to reference this work when he typed out his full solution afterward. The pdf is a picture of a regular short-response challenge problem he did last week in Intro to Geometry. Probably should have saved it as a photo instead of a pdf. It came out very light, sorry!

mathmarm Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 This month, we are beginning the proof-writing lesson in Foerster and going to be building his fluency with long-division and polynomials with home-made daily drill sheets for him to use this month as Table Work. Jr got a tangential taste of proofs recently with the exponent properties so problems 41-70 from Lesson 3-6 in the text are especially timely. This month we are covering material from Ch 3 - 5, but I will be de-emphasizing the textbook to try and makesure that math remain firmly a secondary academic subject for Jr. We started him on a writing program and that should take up more of his energy for seat work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves "cuddle math", and taking notes, etc. But I'm copying the work for this next section for him because the problems are LONG. Since these are proofs so the devil is in the details and I want him to be able to focus on 1 task at a time. We are having technical difficulties so no work samples to share.

mathmarm Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 I hate taking pictures of multipage work. Neatly aligned PDFs are the way to go. When we get the scanner back online I have a stack of work to process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
