http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad296/Hablame_today/64c6ff3f.jpg here's a picture of me drilling the multiplication tables into my kid. I'm using maria's math mammoth youtube method to drill math facts, where he reads the # line forward then backwards and then reads the equations forward then backwards. I guess L8r he'll memorize them. But first let's read through them all once. �Oh mr. smartypants erased the #3 from two of the equations, but then read them backwards and forwards as if the 3's were still there. He just got exposed to this, so it's kind of cool he noticed and memorized one piece, even if it was the easy part.
I don't know why I'm bragging but he's reading his first little easy equations for the first time ever.
