Have to give you a big thank you Tex - DS6 loves bedtime math - might be because we are using it to keep writing going over the summer and he views it as less writing
but actually I think it's the giving of interesting story and facts alongside the math. DS is very good a setting up the equation from the word problems but slow with the facts, so I am just encouraging him - can you do it in your head, or do you need your fingers. It's also showing me what slows him down - like 9+3, he will start counting from the 3 rather than the 9. And he loves loves loves the 3 levels, he does the wee ones in his head, works on the little kids, and then he and i work together on their kids - great rec!
