On the heals of the success of the woodworking class and now that Mad Science is no longer taking place on Monday afternoons, Jack’s mom proposed Math Club and our first meeting was last week. We’re starting out with a small group and as many parents as we can get to stay so we can ease into things as we figure it all out. It’s basically just a chance for the kids to get together and play games that use math. There were several games of War and Uno happening, as well as this giant dice game that was meant for the younger siblings but seem to draw in all the kids.
We brought an ice cream game where the kids do either an addition or subtraction problem on an ice cream scoop shaped card and build up a giant ice cream cone with each correct answer. Ezra and Amelia started off with a quiet game.
Soon, Finn and Charlie joined in.
Most of the kids were pretty relaxed and had a good time with the games, although a couple of them got a little competitive.
