    We need a wobbly lower lip, bit teary emoticon.

    I was just looking for worksheets and lesson ideas for afterschooling, and one result was one of those lists of the skills in some school's curriculum. I don't know why it had never occurred to me before, but they're for the end of the year.

    This (our currculum has more in it, but this is an easy C&P)
    Quote
    1. Counts from memory without errors to 100

    2. Performs one to one counting without errors to 25

    3. Recognizes numerals to 100

    4. Writes numerals to 20

    5. Recognizes shapes: square, circle, triangle, rectangle, diamond, oval

    6. Sorts sets of mixed objects using various attributes (ex. color, shape, size, etc.)

    7. Demonstrates calendar skills (days of week, months of year, today, yesterday,
    tomorrow)

    8. Generates and continues patterns using shapes/objects

    9. Understands and uses terms - more, less, same, before, after - when comparing or
    relating items on graphs using manipulatives, etc.

    10. Estimates comfortably

    11. Participates in oral number stories
    is for a year from now. A year from now.

    12. Solve addition and subtraction number sentences/models

    I think my googling - for worksheets on area and perimeter with fun pictures and stories to go with them might be futile. I just feel tired, and overwhelmed. I'm not a teacher.

    re: for worksheets on area and perimeter with fun pictures and stories

    book: Sir Cumference and the Round Table series of books, Sir Cumference and Angleland, and others

    But yes, those curriculum lists are for the end of the year. Sigh.

    No wonder I'm going grey over ds7 learning his 5 times facts in 3rd grade. Ugh. Thank goodness I signed him up for EPGY math online - at least he'll have to use his brain somewhere ! smile
