Bedtime Math

A great website/app for you to use at home with your child is Bedtime Math. This site tells a short story each day and then follows it up with three levels of math problems for wee ones, little kids and big kids. The idea is to read the story as a bedtime story and then complete the math problems that go along with the story - a great way to do a little reading and a little math each day.

I read an article about Bedtime Math on NPR over break and thought I would share it with you. It explains some research that shows how doing the Bedtime Math stories really helps kids. The link is below:

Website Recommendations

Today, I want to recommend two websites to you that you might find fun to explore with your child. One is Wonderopolis - a site that asks and answers an interesting question each day. It is fun to browse through the wide variety of questions. There are often short videos that accompany each answer. Click on the picture to visit the website.

The other is Bedtime Math. This site tells a short story each day and then follows it up with three levels of math problems for wee ones, little kids and big kids.
