Living Math!

Living Math! -- a math page I want to save.

DS1 had some addition fun with a Lite Brite yesterday at daycare. He gets to the room before I do because I drop off DS2 first. When I got to DS1's room, he said to me, "Mommy, four plus four is eight." On the Lite Brite he had a row of 8 pegs, 4 of one color and 4 of another. Then he added 1 of a different color to the end and said, "And one more is nine. Four plus four plus one equals nine." Then he added 2 more of another color and said, "Two more equals eleven." My side of the conversation consisted of "yes, it does" and "that's right," then a kiss on the forehead and "have fun, bye bye I love you!"
