When I started
mapping out this year’s math journey, I wasn't sure exactly what path I wanted
to take, but I knew I wanted my boys to activity experience the world of math.
From ancient times to the modern day math, man has used math to explore the
world in which we live. There are some many fascinating stories about numbers
and hidden patterns that are skimmed over or left out altogether in traditional math
books. For months I thumbed through countless number of "boring and nonchallenging" math books.
Without fail, they seem to suck the joy out of math. So I decided to devise
my own math plan. The task of coming up with my own plan was not an easy task, but well worth the effort. My kids love math and have grown
in leaps and bound in their mathematical abilities.
Ancient Egyptians made simple but effective shadow clocks and sundials.
Our ancestors measured time by counting and watching the Sun, Moon and Stars
Before we had Arabic Numeral we had Roman Numeral. When in Roman, write like the Romans!
