How
tall is the lamp? How wide, the room?
How long the sofa? The living room is
a trove of treasures for little mathematicians
to measure - with ruler, tape, string,
any old thing.
See the newspapers and magazines left
on Dad's favorite chair? Hurry, get
the scissors. There's marvelous opportunity,
here, for exercising the reading, writing
and math skills.
For example: Challenge your children to
search ads for certain letters and combinations
of letters; your child cuts them out and mounts
them on shirtboards for all the world
to admire, or have your child cut out
pictures of furniture, which they place
in appropriate rooms on a big floorplan
you provide.
