May Math Calendar from Let's Play Math!


I know this is a few days late, but I had to post letting you know about the May Math Calendar that is available to download and print (for free) at Let's Play Math. Instead of the day of the month, there is a problem that equals what the number would be if it did show the day of the month. Um...understand?

Well, just go check it out here!

I believe it's kind of like the math calendar by Theoni Pappas. We have a couple of books by Theoni Pappas entitled The Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat and The Further Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat. We have both of these books and they explain fun things that you can do with numbers. This is especially helpful when math becomes a little dry and boring to your kids. They are probably for at least third or fourth grade and up, but my younger ones like them as well because of the storyline about Penrose. Good fun!
