Addy and Dori

This is me and Dori. We made necklaces out of paperclips. We learned that each paperclip is one unit.

Note from Mom: Hey, who has my name for Christmas? I could use a new box of paperclips. This project took them all and now the girls don't want to give them back. We were doing a unit on measurement in our Singapore Primary Mathematics 1A book. We learned about measuring by household units, then progressed to standard measuring tools such as a ruler. And then we made paperclip jewelry. Why not?

Addy's shapes math

Hi, it's me, Addy. I've been doing shapes on math. And I'm doing really well! This next exercise is going to be really fun. I just did a really hard one and I got them all right.

I like doing shapes math.

Note from Mom: I'd like to tell the entire homeschool community how thrilled I am with Addy's math curriculum. She just completed an elementary version of a Sudoku puzzle, using shapes instead of numbers. We use Singapore Math, which published even its U.S. edition long before Sudoku became popular on this side of the ocean. Addy is finishing up Primary Mathematics 1A and will soon move into level 1B, then go onto 2A and so on.

Yes, she's doing school wearing her pajamas and a giant cow head. Doesn't everybody?
