Strategies for Math

(being resourceful)

Use a number line

Scarlett went straight to adding 3 or 4

(I wrote the number line so she could visualize the number sequentially)

Use a number line and your fingers

Scarlett first learned how to add with her fingers, when all numbers can fit anyways :)

Re-use seeds and K-cup pods!

We collected and dried seeds from the cherries we got at Sprouts, I don't like the idea of using uncooked food for us to put our hands all over 😖

Now we don't buy the one use K-cup pods, but they were on SALE, and I knew exactly what we were gonna use them for, MATH fun! 

This made adding 7 or 8 so easy for Scarlett! 

She is a ROCKSTAR at addition

Thank you for reading!

We started our morning with setting our crystal grid up for protection since we were amongst the Sturgeon Moon and for clarity during meditation time! We took our adventure to Swatek Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its our neighborhood park filled with great wildlife. Hunting for Mushrooms: Mushrooms outside our apartment!

Scarlett felt very moved by these trees, she said if you spin under...
