An amusing story about my 6 year old and math.

Post by sharonb » Tue Sep 01, 2009 9:52 pm

When I made the decision to use HOD, I also got Singapore math for my oldest two children, and for a while they were doing that AND Rod & Staff math, until I could make up my mind which one to do! My children begged for Singapore to be the winner. They were thrilled when I told them that Daddy and I had decided that we would drop R&S math and just do Singapore. This was back in July sometime.

My 6-year-old is great at math. He'll be done with Singapore 1A next week. Today, out of the blue, he says, "I want to do Rod & Staff math." :?: What a turkey! I told him we are doing Singapore now, so we did a lesson of that. Then, to satisfy his sudden craving for R&S math, I copied one of the blackline masters I have of addition and subtraction problems. There's got to be at least 100 problems on this page. He looked at it and asked, "Do I have to do ALL of these?" :lol: I told him to do two lines of it. He finished quickly and then I didn't hear anymore about R&S math after that... :mrgreen:

What a cute story!

Nothing like a little "blackline medicine" to cure the sudden craving for the other math! :lol:

Sharon,

You had me laughing outright sitting at the keyboard! :lol: My first-born son is like this. He never wants to give anything up, even if it wasn't his favorite thing! :wink:

Blessings,
Carrie
