Gerrymandering Exercise
Переглядів 717 місяців тому
As part of our US history this year, we did a short block on the US Constitution. Listening to the book that I had chosen for the spine of the Block, Fault Lines in the Constitution, they had a chapter that talked about drawing district lines and gerrymandering. I thought it would be a good idea to do an exercise on gerrymandering to give a better understanding. It also inadvertently provided q...

    • @beauty_of_play
      @beauty_of_play 2 місяці тому

      They make the same shape because they are number bonds for the number 10 and the wheel is a 10-point circle. When counting by 7's we are essentially counting by 3's backwards because 10-7 is 3. Is that helpful?

    Hi, The kit I purchase at a local grocery store in Greensboro NC, has different instructions on step 2: inoculation. I did not get the needle and the instructions says to make an opening at the corner of the bag. I am concerned 😟 it will not get the same results. I am cultivating the Blue Oyster. Also, I cooked my rice and I am using ziplock bags. Please comment. 😊

    • @beauty_of_play
      @beauty_of_play 6 місяців тому

      Hi Rosasana, yes, Erin and I are currently working in a new video with the new inoculation procedure. It should still work. I do not know about the cooked rice in zip locks. The challenge with growing mushrooms is that they compete with many other common microorganisms such as mold and bacteria. It requires a sterile technique which is why I use the precooked bags that I purchase. She usually gives you more than enough inculcate, so you can still try. If it doesn’t work, store your income in the fridge and try again with the precooked bagged rice.

    What do you use for more independent math?

    • @beauty_of_play
      @beauty_of_play 9 місяців тому

      I make my own worksheets. I have used workbooks as source books that I take problems from like Jamie York's Making Math Meaningful, but I want to make sure I interleave a variety of math problems from concepts we've been studying, and I also want to make sure to cater to her strengths and weaknesses. Using a sourcebook for me to pull problems from allows me this flexibility. I think one could easily use any workbooks for a child's skill level and basically do the same thing. The challenge with workbooks that I have found is there is very little interleaving (a mix of a variety of different kinds of problems.) We can adjust this by choosing a few problems from several different pages. We did this for my son's college classes that were designed to introduce and concept and do what's called 'drill and kill.' This means they have one type of problem for the concept that he was introduced to over and over, but no interleaving. What we did was work ahead and have several different homeworks open at the same time, doing a few problems from different concepts each day. This spacing and interleaving, though it feels harder, allows for greater long-term retention. I hope that's helpful.

      Sorry for the late reply. I would do Middle Ages first, but please note that the middle ages often called the dark ages, was isolated to Europe, because much of Afro Eurasia, at that time was having a very enlightened period. Loads of progress was being made by the Middle East, and buy the Asians, and definitely by the countries in Africa.

    Hi Della, I loved your video. You mentioned four subjects that you found tedious to do daily and instead you do two of them daily. I wasn’t clear on whether you do these subjects alongside your enrichment loop? (example math, copy work, geography and your block work) or is it integrated into your enrichment loop? I am also having a hard time with all these subjects daily and is looking for other alternatives that I wouldn’t otherwise consider. Also, does your enrichment loop follow the block you’re doing? Thank you in advance.

    • @beauty_of_play
      @beauty_of_play 3 роки тому

      Hi Tina. The subjects that I was referring to were math, form drawing, Spanish, and copy work. We ended up putting those in a loop separate from our enrichment loop. So we have our main lesson, and then we do some thing from the enrichment loop, and then we do two items off of those four subjects on one day and then the following day we do the other two items. I basically just put them in another separate loop. Teaching all the subjects every single day was way too much for me, and this combination of Waldorf and Charlotte Mason is working really well for us. We have a unit study that we can dive really deep into like we enjoy, but then we hit smaller lessons in a loop schedule so everything gets done, but I’m not doing everything every day. I hope that helps; let me know if you have any other questions.

      I know I already answered you privately, but I thought I would just put this up publicly. So I get a lot of inspiration from several different sources including Jamie Yorks Making Math Meaningful and Gattegno’s work. I also love educationunbox.com. But I don’t really use a curriculum and teaching her math. Because math is something that comes easier to me, most of the time I can see where we need to go next and have in my mind how I want to approach it. There are definitely things that I keep in mind as we go along like spacing, memory retrieval, and interleaving. Also try to approach it in a way that connects some thing that she already understands. I talk a little bit about this in the most recent curricula for addition and subtraction and for multiplication and division. I also list a few blogs, books, and curricula that have shaped my thoughts around math.
