Math

At K's last test session at the public school, she asked me if she could do more math. I knew this section was reading so I said she was finished with the math section. She was very upset that it was too easy, no multiplication or even 3 digit subtraction. So, she asked me to write some problems for her to do with the psychologist once her test was finished. I did and when she came out, they were completed, I could tell the psychologist had helped her.

This incessant math work is tiring. I guess I should buy her some workbooks. I've been against just doing math worksheets so we haven't really done that. She asks me constantly for math problems. She carries around a notebook and works math problems in them. She just makes up her own or writes down what I say in the car.

I made up some word problems for her today. They were just subtraction problems but she has to work on understanding how to set up the word problems. We do things like Gigi was born in 1925, how old was she when she had Grandma, how old was she when Mommy was born and how old when K was born. She loves them.

We've also been working on double digit multiplication but I need to teach that more.

I'm not sure what other Math to do. D wants to do EPGY but I don't think now is the right time with the move and plus K is not that into spending a lot of time at the computer. She loves to write problems. I know there are some other Math web sites but she doesn't like to be upstairs on the computer if we are all downstairs. I guess I need to buy some workbooks so she can carry those around with her :-)
