• Sep. 15, 2007 - Rod & Staff Math

Posted by Homeschooling6
Hi Holly,
Rod & Staff Math starts off with the child learning how to form the numbers and then moves on to simple adding by saying "One duck in the pond & zero ducks on the grass, how many ducks" Then you would show them that 1+0=1. They stay with it for a week and use flash cards.

I have used Singapore before and much prefer Rod & Staff. It's IMHO a more gentle way, plus R&S want the child to master all one's before moving on. While they are learning to add they are learning other things too.

For instance they will have a picture of a cracked egg. On one side they will have the number 1 and on the other side of the cracked egg they will have a 3. The child needs to circle the one that is less.

They give enough problems so if the child need more practice you can do them all or only do a few.

Right now R&S has a slighty damaged TM for a few $$'s less.

Hope this has helped ;) If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

So how was your nightime rituals with putting the kiddos to bed. I have been improving (slowly) I try to have the kiddos get ready for bed at 7:00pm (brushing teeth, changing etc) that way they are "In" bed by 8:00pm and I can read a story & pray to them before I start getting too tired and grumpy.
Another thing I "try" to do, is not get involed in something right before I'm supposed to put them to bed because if I hop on the computer or start reading a book or start getting things ready for tomorrow I feel like they are inturupting me and (sad I know) and I tend do not be very kind.
So I don't do anything "Me" related until I put them to bed.
Blessings,
Linda<><
