Math with the 8yo

Posted By on April 27, 2012

Home school math. I was typing something up, and Isaac noticed something on the clock or something of what I was typing; I can’t remember what started it.

8yo: “Mom, how many minutes are in a day?”
“Well, let’s figure that out.”

So, I asked, and he answered.

How many minutes in an hour?
60min = 1 hour

How many hours in a day?
24 hours = 1 day

Let’s do the math.

60m X 24H = 1440

That math looks like this:
I typed out 24 1′s first, then the 60′s next to them, and he counted them with his 6yo brother.
1 60
1 60
1 60
1 60

X24
____
1440Minutes

 

“WOW. That’s a lot of minutes Mom!”

 

So, I figure, why not take advantage of this time to teach him multiplication and addition? Let’s see how much he really understands of this.

It’s like this, sonn..
We have 5 chickens
If we get 2 eggs in one day from 2 of the five chickens, it looks like this:
1 day 2 chickens=2eggs
1 week= 7 days
2eggsX7days=
2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 14

52 weeks in a year
1 week=14eggs
52 weeks = ? eggs?

52 weeks X14eggs

52
X14
———
208
+520
——–
728

 

He did the math, told me which ones to multiply first, what was the Tens and the Ones places, and we went on to do it a few other ways to let him see it differently mathwise.

52 X 14
=
52 X 4
+
52 X 10

52
52
52
52
208

Just a little of what we did today with the 8yo for math. I love it that he wants to learn because it is REAL LIFE math that he can relate to and cares to learn about. And, after all, HE ASKED ME.

Have a great day!

Welcome

Welcome to my online home. This is my personal website. My business website is linked below.
There isn't much to say about me. I am just me, at 40+, and making no excuses. I have a new lease on life, making the best of it.
I like to think of myself as a simple family gal trying to teach my children how to live, laugh, and love. I have been home schooling since 1993 and have graduated our three oldest. I'm still having fun with our youngest 6.
We recently moved from the mountainside in Costa Rica back to the U.S. after living there for 2 years. Life has taught us many lessons. It is our greatest teacher. That's how we live. That's how we learn. We can read and learn from books, but living is where the rubber meets the road. It's where the lessons prove themselves out.
The main focus in my life is my children and my home, but I also love to share about my new business as an Independent Representative with Miche handbags.
I love to be healthy and to learn about just about everything, and I love to teach and share information that is beneficial. Because of this, I have a few websites and pages on FB to share about health, Essential Oils, Miche, and my blog. You can find me there as well.


May you find peace in whatever your journey is and we'll see why our paths have crossed. I can't promise anything about our journey, except that it is quite the adventure.

After all, I have it on good authority that
"Adventure is out there!"
Ka - Ciao!!
