Time 4 Learning: Math

      We use Time 4 Learning for part of the boys' lessons each week, and they seem to enjoy it quite a bit. The graphics sometimes drive me to the point of insanity with their 80's graphic awesomeness... but I'm pushing past it... lol. One part I really like in particular is the math lessons. Yesterday the boys did their weekly Time 4 Learning math lesson and I decided to take some pictures to show you what they do besides the computer work. For each math section, there is a quiz. You start each new lesson (if you finished a section last time) with a quiz from what you learned last time. So far the boys have both gotten all the answers right, which is great because I know they actually listened last time... :-).
      Once that is done we do two lessons on the website (www.time4learning.com) and then move onto the provided teacher materials which include some activities and worksheets. Some of the activities aren't really possible to do with only 2 kids, but we do the ones we can and do all the worksheets! There is usually a pretty even mix of worksheets you use a pencil for, ones that involve cutting, and others that have cutting and pasting, but this week we had a ton of cutting and pasting to do, which is great for their hand-eye coordination! They're getting SO much better at cutting! (Which is great...mostly because I'm not TOTALLY terrified they're gonna cut off a digit with child scissors... which are somehow sharper than my kitchen shears by the way...eep!) I really do love the supplemental stuff we do on Time 4 Learning, and honestly would recommend it be part of your curriculum if you can!
