Christmas Tree Math

We have been doing lots of review of phonics and math skills this week as we get ready for Christmas vacation.  The girls have enjoyed less text book time and more hands on learning.  On Wednesday and Thursday, I made paper Christmas trees and used buttons to decorate them.  I gave Grace addition sentences.  She used the buttons on the tree to figure out the answers.  Hannah got number cards and had to add that number of buttons to her tree.  Both of them had a lot of fun doing this learning, but we mixed it up a little when I gave them M&Ms instead of buttons!  Now the real fun began!  As they got problems right, they were able to eat their M&Ms!!!  Math truly IS fun!
