Making the world a better place one math fact at a time.

My three year old and I went for a walk the other day and passed by the school building in which he might possibly someday attend kindergarten. He told me he is a little nervous about going because he would have to do math there.

"Rest assured young child,

math is pretty darn easy and you have nothing to worry about.

Look how easy it is!"

If I have one little flower,

and you have one little flower,

and we put our flowers together, how many flowers do we have?

Thus, 1+1=2. That's math!

The point of this post though, is not to brush up on basic addition,

but to remind myself how easy it is to learn together anytime, anywhere.

We don't need fancy tools or plastic math manipulatives to practice our facts.

We don't need to buy things to learn things.

We just need the time, the inclination to learn and fields full of clover to help us on our way.
