Brenda over at “The Family Revised” wrote a fun post entitled “So, Is It Handwriting U See or Math Without Tears?”

Here is a portion of the post…

So last week after Sweetheart finished her math review, what did she make?

Why Math Man of course!

Oh come on. That’s funny.

Guest Post - Ice Cream and Math

Guest Post today from Nikowa at the Knowledge House Academy

This week’s Math U See lesson is about memorizing the colors of the unit bars. Well I wanted to get creative so I did a Google search for “numbers, ice cream cone” & came up with this great site.

I immediately printed it out & wrote (with a sharpie) each number (through 10) on them. Then we colored each ice cream scoop to match the corresponding unit bar.

Math Ice Cream

The boys LOVED putting it together & placing it on the wall!

We named each level a different flavor! Hopefully this will “stick” with them.
We have

#1-Lime Sherbet
#2-Orange Sherbet
#3-Strawberry
#4-Lemon
#5-Blueberry
#6-Grape
#7-Vanilla
#8-Chocolate
#9-Mint
#10-Blue Raspberry

What a yummy way to learn math!

Thank you for your amazing program! Math-U-See has helped my son Luke see the “why” in math and he enjoys it so much! Here he is taking a test at the barn while his sister rides. I thought you might enjoy seeing one of “your students” at work in a hay loft.

Any thoughts on a good caption?

Regarding Comb Bound and Classic Material

UPDATE:
The clearance cart is now up and running. Click here to visit.
(While supplies last, available in the US only)

As you now know all the new material is available for purchase on the shopping cart. Due to limited quantities and to simplify things we are creating a “Clearance Shopping Cart” which will contain all the remaining comb bound books and previous editions such as the Old Classic materials.

CLEARANCE!

Here is an update on the Classic Materials

Effective April, 2009 - Classic Teacher Manuals and Videos will be sold until supplies are gone. We recommend the Primer Student Text in place of the Introduction Student and Introduction Extra Practice Sheets since it will work with the the older Introduction Teacher manual and is much better.

*Prices for 2009
Foundation Student Foundation Extra Practice Sheets Intermediate Student Intermediate Extra Practice Sheets Advanced Student Advanced Extra Practice Sheets Basic Alg & Geo Student Basic Alg & Geo Extra Practice Sheets Algebra 2 Student (Orange) Algebra 2 (Orange) Extra Practice Sheet Trigonometry Student	22.50 25.00 22.50 25.00 22.50 25.00 22.50 25.00 22.50 20.00 22.50

*As you may imagine, we don’t sell many classic books. But we do want to continue to make them available to our long standing customers who have purchased these in the past. However our purchasing volume has declined so significantly that we are unable to offer the same retail prices.
