Bucket balances are great! I hope you and your girls enjoy cuisenaire rods!

I’ve just recently bought cuisenaire rods but we haven’t taken them out yet – now I want a bucket balance!!

I keep thinking that I should start up an allowance with my kids. I would love to learn more about how your system works!

For as hands on and wonderful as our school is, there is too much drilling in math, and Rebecca hates it. I don’t know what to do about that unfortunately.

One of our math activities is counting and dividing up allowance into short term saving/long term saving/giving/spending.

My son likes counting money. I do try and point out and explain math concepts if they come up. Multiplication is a good example. I remember my mother did this with me and it gave me a lot of math confidence in school.
