Tuesday. The day after Monday.

Yesterday we entered into "place value" in our math lessons. While I was good at math in school, it was not my favorite subject. I must admit that while a bit nervous to teach math to Mae, I figured I would be good at it at least. Uh. Yeah. Not really.
So we have "skipped" math and frankly "avoided" it some days. Yeah. Great approach to homeschool right. Ha!
Luckily for homeschoolers, you're not truly behind and there is always time to catch up or make up the difference..........whew, grace in homeschool. Because there will be concepts she whizzes through and some where we have to camp out for a bit. Flexibility, grace, awesomeness. So yesterday we entered the world of place value. I had no idea how you would "teach" this........but I can tell you I would not do it the way Math U See does it. It is amazing! And so easy for her to grasp and the hands on is way beyond a worksheet with numbers. Their "build it, write it, say it" really reenforces it and helps the student to "get it". I am really enjoying Math U See and so is Mae, which I'm sure is much more important than what I think. :)
