Word Problems
We will put some Christmas pictures up soon, but I just had to post that Colin is now doing word problems. As in math word problems.
For a few months now he has been asking about how much is this plus this, so Santa got him a math book for Christmas. He has been working on it and done about 20 pages, when he got to the word problems page. He could read the whole thing, create the equation and then get the answer – for example:
“Kevin has 7 marbles. His dad gives him 5 more. How many marbles does Kevin have now?”
It is great. The book is a first grade math book. The boy is constantly impressing and surprising me and he just turned 5 a few months ago.
Sorry, I don’t mean to be one of those moms, but in some cases I just can help it…and it is our blog
