As I was going through Karen Tyler's Math Albums to see what I have missed, I came across the Story problem presentations. So I quickly printed out the three Story Problem Sheets that she had provided with the course. D worked with the first one and loved it. I showed her how to record it in her Math journal. After finishing the Addition Strip Board, it was good practice for D to work on addition facts as well as to see how it might fit into the real world.

Thanks tracey! We love the RightStart games too! I stopped by your page and love what you have written! I need to check out the Natural Math stuff. Seems so logical. I love Montessori for the same reason that the learning that we do seems natural and not forced!
