My little spied a new book and ended up doing some spelling work at bedtime last night!

A week and a half without a work cycle and she must been feeling the need to stretch her brain!

I picked up DK's Spell Check for her to dip into later in the summer. We will only use sections as review after she's had hands on lessons, but I knew the animal pictures would entice her. I like that it picks up after phonetic spelling, which she doesn't need. It covers plurals, long vowel spellings, some prefixes/suffixes, homophones, synonyms, contractions.

I like that it concisely states each rule and provides practice. It is not a curriculum by itself, but I like the format for review work/extra practice.

We're taking things easy this week and winding down for the summer...but my big did get some square root work in, along with checking her answer.

Playing and reminding ourselves about place value this morning.

All three equations yield the same result:
26.904x.23
2.6904x2.3
.26904x23
So easy to see why on the decimal checkerboard ❤️💙💚

This morning the kids were up early and were both well into crafting before "school time". Rather than stop them, I sat down and gave my Winds presentation. The last and next presentations had/have an experimental "wow" factor, but this one didn't. We looked at the charts, and talked about our recent weather experiences over spring break.

By the time I'd given the lesson, the kids had finished their crafts. They were ready to move on and and choose other work. It all slotted in really nicely.

Now that we've looked at square roots of squares under 20, and we've worked through a slightly larger problem with both golden beads and then square root board, we took a detour outside of my albums.

@mchomeschool has a great highlight on beginning square roots. I set up a notebook page in the same way as mchomeschool's whiteboard. My daughter calculated the squares on 1-9, 10-90 (by tens), and 100-900 (by 100's). We then talked about the patterns we saw - the number of digits in the square vs the square root.

I introduced and explained the square root guide charts. I asked her to make up a number (123456). We paired our digits and saw that's we'd have a 3 digit square root. Using our notebook page we estimated our value to be between 300 & 400.

Selecting the correct guide square and laying out our beads we knew right away that we needed to exchange our red 100,000 bead for ten 10,000 beads.

Then, we worked through the process completing out legs and squares. Our result was a square root of 351, remainder 255.

As a check, we subtracted 255 from 123456, and took the square root of the answer (123201). The square root is 351! Woohoo!

We covered a lot today. We need to play and practice for a while.

Beginning Square Root Follow Up

As a follow up to her lesson earlier this week, I asked my big to work through some task cards that would expose her to several of the square roots of the squares of 11-25.

I've stated many times before that she doesn't like the tediousness of some of the materials...but sometimes you have to work with a thing to understand a thing...

She knew the answers to most of these going in, so she worked through one or two to get the hang of it, then skipped the ones she knew. We picked out a couple to do together, and she balked at all the exchanging,,,so we just counted the left over beads that should have been enchanged and verified that they fit our space.

$Multiplication Shenanigans The other day, it was the end of the morning. Attention was waning, but it was still too early to pack up for lunch. We'd been talking about checkerboards and multiplication. I asked my little if she'd like to do some checkerboard problems with me. My big told us that her puppy wanted to work on the decimal checkerboard. Somehow this ended up with my little wanting to work on the decimal checkerboard. She's not ready for this yet. I didn't say no...but I did say we needed to chat about a couple of things first. Last summer she saw the HILARIOUS Intro to Fractions lesson, splitting the unit fraction circle into tenths and then hundreds. I repeated this, and introduced the board at the same time. We built a couple of numbers and she declared herself done...but the puppy still wanted to work on the regular checkerboard. We worked through a couple of checkerboard problems. My little picked the numbers and we had a hilarious time pretening to lay out a whole row of 0 products. It's a requirement that we pretend to pick up zero bead bars and put them on the square :) ___________________________________ #homeschool #montessori #diymontessori #homeschoolmontessori #montessoridiy #montessoriathome #homeschooler #montessorimath #montessoricheckerboard #montessorialbums$
