We're having SUM fun now!

There's a new math post up at Serendipity. The gnomes will be back with another adventure after Christmas. Until then, we're playing with our friend Plus. Lots and lots of ideas there for addition adventures. There's a list of living books for math and suggestions for ways to look at numbers and to represent them in pictures. Later in the week, numbers will go three-dimensional as we build equations out of clay. And when the autumn winds pick up and the air gets downright nasty, consider just hanging out by the fireplace and letting your children loose on the floor with the gemstones. There's no telling where they will go. (Yes, it's a soccer field. Out of gemstones. Apparently, our gnomes got game.)
