Hands-on Math

Some math programs, such as Math-U-See have loads of hands-on activities with math manipulatives.  We are using Saxon Math 5/4 with our fourth-grader.  Even Saxon has a few hands-on examples.  Today’s math lesson includes Geometric solids.  Saxon called for making a paper cube.  Any job worth doing is worth over-doing.  I used these shapes as part of today’s math lesson.  Seeing is understanding. Take a look.
