I'm SO excited to share our last "Disney Math" activity, because that means we are ready to go to Disney World! I've had so much fun looking for ways to incorporate Disney fun into our homeschool day, and my kids have really enjoyed it too! Today I'm sharing a simple activity that I was able to adapt to use with both my kids (kindergarten and first grade), to work on recognizing numbers with Cars. (Although we used Cars from the movie, any Keep Reading...
Disney Math: Frozen Fractal Snowflake {FREE Printable}
Do you know what a fractal is? I LOVE fractals! Fractals are geometric shapes with self-similar patterns, created by repeating a process over and over again. While there is a wonderful complexity to fractals, there is also a beautiful simplicity that even small children can enjoy! In this next post in my Disney Math series, I'm sharing how I introduced my kids to fractals, based on the movie Frozen. Learn how to make a simple fractal snowflake, Keep Reading...

Skittles Math: Count and Graph! {FREE Printables!}
There's no doubt about it, math is bound to be more fun when it's hands-on. There are countless materials you can use as manipulatives for counting and sorting, but my favorite, BY FAR, is candy!

But as a once in a while treat, it's the best! *Please Note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links and help support the work of this Keep Reading...
Using Pattern Blocks to Create Cinderella’s Castle!
If you haven't seen on Instagram, my family is counting down the days to our Disney World vacation! This is our first time, and my kids are just a little bit excited. ;) To help use their excitement to learn and explore important math concepts, we've been having a "Disney Math" lesson each week! (If you missed last week, check out our math countdown to Disney!). This week, to build on our triangles lesson from "The Greedy Triangle," we pulled Keep Reading...
Exploring Triangles with “The Greedy Triangle!”
The Greedy Triangle, by Marilyn Burns, is a great way to introduce shapes to young kids. It explores various shapes and gives copious examples of shapes in the world around us, and gave us a great starting place for exploring triangles! In addition, it provides an important character lesson: be content with who you are! Or as Dr. Seuss put it, Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you." *Please Keep Reading...
Disney Math! {Countdown to Disney World!}
There has been quite a lot of excitement around our house lately! In case you didn't see it on Instagram, we are planning a trip to Florida next month to take the kids to Disney World. To say they're excited is a bit of an understatement, which can sometimes make concentrating on school work difficult. To help with that (and also get some great math practice and conversations in at the same time!), we created a "Countdown to Disney!" *Please Keep Reading...
Math Twister! {A Fun Indoor Math Game!}
I don't know about you, but we have seen an inordinate amount of rain around here! And while it has been great for the trees and the flowers, it has not been quite as great for these stir crazy kids! Not to worry, though, because I came up with a math game that kept them busy AND wore them out, all while practicing important math facts! *Please Note: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links and help support the work of this site.

Understanding the Distributive Property {FREE Lesson!}
I distinctly remember the week in 7th grade pre-algebra that was spent learning and (supposedly) understanding the distributive property. I remember this week so vividly because, for some reason, it made NO sense to me. None. At. All. Eventually I understood what it meant, and how to use it and apply it in the wonderful world of Algebra and solving equations and working with expressions. But I never forgot how confusing and nonsensical it Keep Reading...

If you follow me on instagram, you may have seen a picture recently of my daughter's telescope creation. *Please Note: This post contains affiliate links that help support the work of this site. Feel free to read our full disclosure policy here.* She came up with the idea and design, and made the entire thing herself with no guidance from me!
