Mastering Essential Math Skills

Hi Neighbors!

How are you all doing this week? My son has been working on our latest curriculum up for review, Math Essentials. The actual books we received are, Mastering Essential Math Skills, Book 2 ($33.95) along with the Problem Solving. He did it more as a refresher course over the summer. The Mastering Essential Math Skills is not just another math book, it is a system of learning. Each day has five key parts. Step one is the Review Exercises. After they have spent enough time on reviewing, they move on to the Speed Drills. Next is the Helpful Hints, where the student receives a tip or hint on how to solve the problems. After reading the hint, the student moves on to the new material for the day. This is followed up with one word problem. To complete a daily section should take approx. 20 minutes.

The Mastering Essential math Skills Book Two is designed for Middle Grades and High School. the Problem Solving workbook covers Graphs, Whole Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, and Percents. The larger book, Mastering Essential Math Skills Book 2, covers: Whole Numbers, Fractions Decimals, Percent, Geometry, Integers, Charts and Graphs, and Word Problems. also included is a Mastering Essentials math Skills DVD.

With the included DVD, your student who is motivated would be able to work through this book by themselves. Now, having six children, 3 of whom have already graduated, I am aware that some students can do this, while others need that extra push. And obviously you need to be available should they get stuck. The program is designed to prepare children for Algebra. It is a one year course, although some will be able to complete it in less time.

This is a worthwhile program to prepare your student/s for Algebra. I am having mine write answers in a separate notebook so I can use this for younger siblings. So be sure to visit their website.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
