[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our experience the games are not really games. You roll a die and write down what number you see. Cool! Then the next person rolls and writes down the number he gets. If you try to play a different "game" to make it more fun the teachers get upset.
Sometimes if the teacher is feeling really creative you get to color a triangle.

[quote=Anonymous]In Dd's school (not a W feeder; Focus school) they did various game type things for math. For instance one of 4 math groups would be with the teacher, one on the computers, one at a table doing things like grouping different ways and another on the ground maybe doing something hands on like playing with dice.

Not the same as "play play" but still not just worksheets. They had daily specials. Only 1 recess. Would have preferred either 2 recesses or a daily play center time as well. [/quote][/quote]

And for a small human who has only been on the earth for five years that is rigor. You did not come out of the womb knowing anything and someone had to take the time to teach you. Adults forge that learning doesn't come automatically. [/quote]
