Making Math Review Fun

Posted in Homeschooling

Flash cards can be a great way to learn math facts, but kids don’t always enjoy it. I created this file folder game for our workboxes as a way to review Munchkin’s math facts without it seeming like math drills. Pyramid of Numbers You can find the game board and instructions here. There are currently multiplication, addition, and subtraction card sets. While working on basic math facts is great, Munchkin also needed work on story problems. I created this file folder game to assist her in working on story problems. Leaping Lemurs You can download the game board and instructions…

Basketball Award Ceremony

Posted in Family

Saturday was an up and down sort of day. We had to drop D off at the airport in the morning. Thankfully, he’ll only be gone for the week, but his absence always changes the overall feeling in our home. Munchkin was in tears as we walked back to the truck. She didn’t have much time to gather herself before we arrived at the base gym. We had to go directly from the airport to the award ceremony for her base basketball league. The good news is that being around her teammates cheered her up. It didn’t matter that they…
