Roo's Math Field trip

We have a wonderful, amazing math teacher. ;) I'm sure I've mentioned it before- but we just LOVE Pam, and all the hard work she puts into teaching math to our boys. She does such a super job, and always find them fun computer games to go along with their assignments.   This year, Roo had a friend join him for math.  Another homeschooling mom in the area has a daughter, S. the same age as Roo.  They have their own little Math Class.   It's so cute the way they work together, and challenge each other.

Tuesday we had our final math class for the year, we went on a Math field trip.   We went to the small local Zoo- Pam made a cute little math page for them. 

One of the questions was how many types of swans are there.

 Are there more Monkeys or Eagles?

 Talley marks- how many turtles are there?

No math questions on Emus- but it would be a good multiplication lesson ;) Notice the 2 baby emus by the fence! So cool!

Counting the Monkeys

 Wahoo! We finished the page! Roo and his friend S.  near the bobcat cage.

After the zoo, they played at the park for a few minutes, and had to figure how many more steps there were on the big slide than the little slide.  And how many swings there are.  Then came Roo's favorite part- Fraction math....what better way to study fractions than to eat PIZZA at Pizza Pie Cafe!   Only, I think if you eat as much as Roo did- you probably didnt' eat a fraction of the pizza- but rather the whole thing. lol 

Thanks SO much Pam for all you do for us!
