Now back to our regularly scheduled programming
Here is a fun picture that Kelli sent in a while back.
I’m having trouble coming up with a witty caption for the picture and need some help.
To make things interesting we’ll pick the funniest caption and send the creator a free Math-U-Tote bag.
So put on your thinking cap and submit a creative comment with your captivating caption. Capisce?

I have a 5 and 6 y/o and we are working our way thru Alpha. My son is a multi-sensory learner, so tomorrow we will be taking the manipulatives to the pool to use as diving sticks (dive for the “5″, dive for the “7″) I went to the blog looking for more ideas on how to get him to remember the colors. As for the picture —-hmmmm. A Birds Eye Math? The Early Bird Gets the Math? Sorry, it’s late.
Overheard today on the Math U See Tower of Training:
Polly want a nine bar?
No, but some chocol-8 would be great!
I don’t have a good caption but that’s a scream!
High atop 1028 Decimal Street the Birdzilla Twins plot there next move.
If you build it, they will come! LOL
Math U See, so easy and fun, students flock to it!
My son, Brandon (11 yrs), saw the picture and came up with “Perching On A Math Question”.
Look everyone !! We are on top of the Math U See world.
O.k…O.k..it DOES equal 9,346..but how do we gt down from here?
Now that’s what I call a balanced equation!
“Math-U-See: turns out it IS for the birds!”

Hello
I am trying to find the best place to ask about Math-U-See and captioning for the hearing impaired. I know this isn’t the place, but for lack of a better idea, I’ll ask here anyway
Are the Math-U-See DVDs captioned? Would they be of any benefit to my hearing impaired son? We got all excited about ordering Math-U-See for the first time until I realized we haven’t checked into that part yet!
I thank you for your response!
As for a picture caption, ‘O Math can U See’ is what my kiddo came up with–she said the birds looked like they were at attention atop a flagpole LOL!
~~
Clarification…in other words, are the DVDs largely visual enough to the point that (if not captioned) missing some of the dialogue would not negate the benefits of the DVDs?
Clear as mud
~~
Wow! Some great captions
Winners will be announced soon! So get your caption in…
@DanaB - The MUS DVD’s aren’t currently captioned but we are working on it.
How about:
Math-U-See…no bird brains here!
even if you’re a bird brain, you can conquer math u see
My 3 year old son calls his tower of blocks, Worm Cake? Why I don’t know
Under the supervision of Peter and Polly Decimal Street has now been turned into the Decimal Skyscraper district.
Math-u-see so fun the birds want in on it!
hey wow! I’ve never won a contest like this before :o)
congratulations Amanda! Yours was my FAVORITE! Good choice Ethan!
My kids like to build with the blocks, too…but I’m kind of protective of them!
Hey, I see the code for the MathUBlog, but I’d really like to display a button that will take my readers right to the curriculum home page. Do you have a button for that?
Math-U-See by Frank Lloyd Wright
…..2 calling birds and a tower of maaath u see
(To the tune of 12 days of Christmas)
Caption: “Poly want a problem?” or better yet “Poly got a problem?”
Caption: “Do we look like pigeons to you?”
“Bird brains you say, but our math is more structurally sound” (you don’t have to count me since I’m the mom and I entered twice.
Caption: “Is this what you call a tree?”
We were late, but it was irresistable to contribute. Allen is 9 and Dan is 11.
