We discovered a new aspect to our math studies this year (in addition to our math IXL drills) – graph paper.
Nothing like graph paper to keep those pesky numbers in line.
Daniel and Rachel were required to use specific graph paper notebooks for their online Algebra classes. Rachel never took a fancy to the graphing paper, instead preferring regular, lined paper and a 3-ring binder, but Daniel loved his and is already on a second notebook.
David discovered a small stack of graph paper and soon worked his way through it, enjoying the way it helped him keep track of the numbers.
David is ready to do some serious math now.
Sarah too began to ask for sheets of graph paper.
Okay, I may be a busy and distracted mama, but I know when to pay attention, and the request for school supplies filtered right to the top. A quick search on Amazon yielded some affordable graphing notebooks, and we were set.
As much as David and Sarah are sweet and companionable buddies and do a good portion of their homeschooling work together, they still desire autonomy and individuality. Hmmmm, what to do? The notebooks were exactly the same.
Sarah came to the rescue with a handy stack of letter stickers.
Math can be pretty and functional.
A coat of Mod Podge to keep the stickers in place, and we were in business.
