Maths, money and modelling!

Jude has enjoyed maths since I taught him the numbers and he then used them to work out bigger digit numbers by reading all the house numbers on peoples doors. We ordered the first mathusee curriculum a good few months ago, but started on the girls old Saxon curriculum first as there are lots of fun games in that curriculum. Jude has been desperate to do the primer though since his sisters both do the mathusee curriculum. He had already done about half the book on and off over the past few months, but when I said we can do some primer he really took the opportunity to get stuck in and ended up doing 58 pages of it in 2 days. I kept on saying Jude, I think that is enough now, but all he said was, it's not enough maths yet, just not enough and carried on and on. He is now nearly finished the book and the idea of going on to Alpha excites him tremendously, I just wander how he will cope with the material in Alpha at age 5, hmmm we will just have to find out.

I pulled out this game recently which the girls used to play. It is called "Pop to the Shops" and it teaches you about buying things with money and working out the change, Jude really got into it.
