More and Less

We learned More and Less using MPE Primary 1a. To explain the symbols (<, >, and =) I used funny terms such as say  “Aaaa” happily for more and “Uuuu” sadly for less.

After giggling and interesting practice, Ubit understood the concept and did the workbook eagerly.  He even asked me to “test” him and made his own test.

We play then learn.

test me, Bu, then I'll test myself

Spaghetti Seller

We start learning addition and subtraction (1-20). We used anything inside and outside the house. Using rubber bands, Ubit is now still pretending to be a spaghetti seller. He offers 3 flavors: chili, tomato sauce, and blueberry. It’s his restaurant anyway. :-)

I prefer him learn the concept other than the symbol of the numbers. No writing this time. No big deal. The only “trouble” is our helpful little princess. She is only 2 yo but so eager “helping” her brother counting, that eventually makes him upset.

Conclusion: It seems that Ubit is having fun. That’s why he doesn’t wanna be disturbed.
