Stone Age Fun: a proven way to learn

A new unit study program that you can use with multiple ages at the same time.  Have fun, in a relaxed way!  Your child will hardly realize they are learning.

***If you are new, simply scroll down to the level you feel your child is at and work your way up***

(To get all the way to the beginning, you will need to click on 'older posts' to get to the beginning level. Scroll to the bottom, it's in very small print toward the right side)

You have made it!

Your child can read! :)

They know all/most of their kindergarten sight words!:)

They can add/subtract even when borrowing and carrying :)

So...what is next?

Good question...

There are a lot of different takes on this age. 

What do they need to learn?

Why should they use this?

I will tell you what I see and leave you to make your decision.

Currently, your child can add and subtract to the point of carrying and borrowing.

If you started at preschool, do you have any idea how advanced that is, already?

Many math facts will be learned  in regular life. 

A great example:

3>1   

This takes about 3 minutes to explain, if that.  There is no need for a whole lesson on this, let alone reviews or worksheets.

To put it a little more clearly, I'll explain it this way.  There is so much review in graded math  a gap here and there will not make a difference.  A 5 minute explanation will not leave anyone behind.

Basically what I am trying to get at is dodge the curriculums and textbooks.  You know what your child needs to review, take charge!

So what's next?

Well, for math: 

Why not teach them multiplication?

Their little sponge minds will soak it up!  They can understand it later.

The online math book I introduced earlier is great at introducing fractions.

I am going to leave you with multiplication.  Don't forget to review the sight words, but also introduce multiplication to the games as well.    Every once in a while add a review sheet on carrying and borrowing just to make sure they don't forget.  If they get the question correct, I wouldn't worry about it.  If they get it wrong, however, give them a question a day till they get it right again.

Make it fun!

Happy Homeschooling!!
