In terms of links to my work, the ideas I had after reading the activity description and your response were related to what I developed for preschool age kids, which I haven't written much about. At some point I'll need to write about it, but there are only so many hours in the day, lol! ;-)Malkehttp://www.mathinyourfeet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12692155561365621.post-28186559005124449812012-02-01T07:39:55.286-05:002012-02-01T07:39:55.286-05:00Malke, you rock!

One of the participants in our open "Developing mathematics" course recently came up with a dance-related activity, and I immediately thought of you: http://p2pu.org/en/groups/ed218-developing-mathematics-the-early-years/content/week-2-developing-modern-mathematics-january-23-29/?pagination_page_number=1#10421 What links in your work would be good for her to explore?MariaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769513929584082597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12692155561365621.post-13200744169326147762012-01-26T14:15:12.546-05:002012-01-26T14:15:12.546-05:00Here's a couple resources for you and your dau...Here's a couple resources for you and your daughter that I think might be interesting and challenging to think about:<br /><br />Have you seen this? http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/symmetry-artist.html -- it's fun to play around with different variables (color, number, image choice) and see how it changes your design. And, you can print out your designs when you're done!<br /><br />And, have you been to mathpickle.com yet? You may see some fun stuff there.

My math eyes get sharper every time I read one of your posts!<br /><br />I have a copy of the book you mention in the post and it makes total sense. (I love the 6-story building activity!) I think I'll take a closer look at it. They are simple enough activities but I can't always be certain when and how I can do them with the kid. My biggest challeng is storing up enough activities in my brain to pull out of my hat when my kid shows me she's ready...and not a second before, lol! <br /><br />Peggy Kaye's book is deceptively simple and her words of wisdom are hidden inside the activity narratives. It's the first math activity/game book I've really wanted to just take my time with. And, I never thought I'd like and understand numbers as I am starting to do now. I never understood what kinds of patterns you can find in numbers -- I know I'm personally at an elementary level with this (albeit with an adult brain that works with other kinds of patterns professionally), but it's still fascinating and exciting.Malkehttp://www.mathinyourfeet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12692155561365621.post-61444041398601047062012-01-26T00:17:27.835-05:002012-01-26T00:17:27.835-05:00It's interesting for me to see what others are...It's interesting for me to see what others are doing with their kids. My daughter (5 years old in public K) is a little math whiz and obsessed with equations and big numbers. However when I challenged her with dividing 100 jelly beans between 25 kids, that stumped her completely. We went to the manipulatives (Target counting shapes) and then she got it pretty quickly. One thing that really helped develop her math sense is Dreambox.com. She played it all the way out to the third grade level and finally petered out. I am giving her a break to digest before she ventures there again.Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12692155561365621.post-73625316775055717492012-01-25T22:47:53.142-05:002012-01-25T22:47:53.142-05:00Thank you for this post, Malke.

Actually, just wrote a post for Moebius Noodles with the two games we played recently. Maria suggested playing grouping games as a bridge to multiplication and I will look them up in Peggy Kaye's book. And thank you for the list of the number skills you posted. I tend to skip introductions in books, so I overlooked it, but it's VERY helpful!Yelenahttp://www.moebiusnoodles.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
