MAYA ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION Since the Maya number system was such a hit last week, I thought the kids might like to see addition and subtraction. I created some more task cards with addition and subtraction problems (my 10 year old wants to write an instruction sheet, and then we'll put them up in the store...give us a week or two), and grabbed a worksheet from jaguarstones.com for the older kids. I used the same folded sheet of construction paper from last week, and added another because we needed more space! While I hadn't originally planned to introduce operations, it worked really well. My oldest did quite a bit of bases work last year and was really engaged in applying what she knew. The littles are still close enough to doing addition and subtraction problems with the Montessori materials that they were able to make connections between the two materials and review the process of exchanging. Definately a hit! ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschooler #homeschooler #unitstudies #amplifyckla #maya #homeschoolhistory #historyunitstudy #ckla #fundamentalhumanneeds #montessorihistory #mayamath #ancientmayamath #ancientmaya #mayaunitstudy

ART WITH A FRIEND These two had a great time this morning, embelishing their finished work or creating diagrams together. It was very sweet to see them chat and work :) ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschooler #homeschooler #unitstudies #amplifyckla #maya #homeschoolhistory #historyunitstudy #ckla #fundamentalhumanneeds #montessorihistory #mayamath

MAYA CALENDAR We began our week learning about the Maya calendar - the most complicated of the Mesoamerican calendars. I told the story of the calendar using a combination of material from Maya: Amazing Inventions You Can Build Yourself, and Dr Diane's information at www.mayaarchaeologist.co.uk. While I talked, the kids cut out calendar pieces from Dr. Diane's printable pack. We put the calendars together and I gave the kids the option to look up the Maya equivalent of their birthday. They all wanted to look it up, and a couple added the glyphs to their page. We explored the Tzolk'in and Haab calendars. Maya dates are assigned a day number and a day name for each calendar - we were all pretty amused to see that both of the younger siblings had birthdays that fell on the day name of their older siblings favorite animal! ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschooler #homeschooler #unitstudies #amplifyckla #maya #homeschoolhistory #historyunitstudy #ckla #fundamentalhumanneeds #montessorihistory #mayacalendar #mayaarchaeologist

MAYA NUMBER SYSTEM We had SO much fun with the Maya number system this morning. I gathered together shells, stones, and (popsicle) sticks and used a piece of construction paper as a work guide. I read/ad-libbed most of the Number chapter from Maya: Amazing Inventions You Can Build Yourself while building the numbers 0 through 19. I then used information from mayaarchaeologist.co.uk and jaguarstones.com to present building numbers in the Maya base 20 number system. I created a set of number cards, to be built with the material and then evaluated, and had some worksheets on hand. To follow up, the older kids chose to use the worksheet, while the little ones used the number cards and material. Things got pretty funny when we all realized that I'd made my cards at about 11pm at night...in the Maya number system a bar/stick represents 5. I'd evaluated every lone stick as 1, not 5. Quite a lot of my answers were wrong :) The littles LOVED going through the cards and correcting my mistakes on the back. We had some really great compare/contrasts to our base 10 system. Maya number system cards aren't available yet...give me a week or two :) ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschooler #homeschooler #unitstudies #amplifyckla #maya #homeschoolhistory #historyunitstudy #ckla #fundamentalhumanneeds #montessorihistory #mayamath #mayanumbersystem #montessorimath

GOLDEN MAT The golden mat isn't a pure Montessori material, but I love it. It really serves the same function as the bead frame. In this particular case, the golden mat is a better choice of material because I'm only working with this friend for a few weeks. Teaching him to use the bead frame paper would be pointless. We went straight to a golden mat lesson including the writing down of our subraction process. He's so close to abstraction, but the mat makes him slow down. Every time his hand does a motion, he's also notating what he's doing. He's got a really great grasp of performing exchanges in our base 10 number system, but wasn't notating properly. With the mat, his hand does exactly what should be written on the paper. Perfect :) ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschooler #homeschooler #montessorimath #beadchains #mixedageenvironment

Incorporating CKLA The two older girls are working through the first 5-6 lessons from CKLA's 5th Grade Early American Civilizations unit. Other lessons in the unit cover the Aztecs and Incas. Last week the girls were led through the process of notetaking from an informative text, this week they reviewed their notes and drafted a paragraph. They then edited each others work and wrote it up as a presentation quality piece of work. I like the scaffolding provided here. Later in the unit they would go through the whole process independenty and write a similar paragraph about the Aztecs. Since we aren't using the Aztec portion of the unit, I'll have them complete the same task on another fundamental need of their choice. ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschooler #homeschooler #unitstudies #amplifyckla #maya #homeschoolhistory #historyunitstudy #ckla #fundamentalhumanneeds #montessorihistory

Circle Loom Weaving Oh boy was this a hit! Yesterday morning I started the day with these very cute 4" circel weaving looms from Funky Craft Junkie (on Etsy). We spent the first 20 minutes or so of the morning working on setting up the warp threads. The two older girls got it after a couple of tries, but the little ones needed a bit more help. (I searched YouTube the night before and practiced setting up my own loom.) Then, once everyone was away and weaving I read aloud chapter 5 of Maya: Amazing Inventions You Can Build Yourself, which is all about farming, food, and clothing, and showed relevant pictures from some of our library books. The hardest part was encouraging the kids to move on to something else! The older two had their looms finished by the end of the morning and loaded up for the next time! ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #montessorihomeschooler #homeschooler #unitstudies #amplifyckla #maya #homeschoolhistory #historyunitstudy #ckla #fundamentalhumanneeds #montessorihistory
