Sunday mornings we do a little math 'round the breakfast table.
Everyone gets a clue, and then we work together to solve the math problem.
Everyone gets a clue, and then we work together to solve the math problem.
We've begun with mystery numbers on a hundred chart, using this great app to help us out. After each person reads aloud her clue, we use the process of elimination to discover what the mystery number is. Once we're pretty sure we've figured it out, we re-read all the clues to make certain, then we celebrate our success!
| Although we've only completed two problems so far, the boys seem to be enjoying this little Sunday morning ritual, and are looking forward to next week's challenge. Most of the problems I'm using come out of this book, an oldie but goodie by Tim Erickson, that promotes logic and reasoning. |
