Korner's Folly Field Trip

I thought you might appreciate a few of these pictures from our trip today. We started with a puppet show up in the attic theatre, and then we went for a tour through the house. I like this site because it is one of the few house museums that welcomes young children and school groups. As you can see, the house needs some work, but to me that is part of what makes it cool!

"castle algorithm" explained!

*Full disclosure…I only use algorithms at the very end of a unit. I am huge on building number sense, and I believe it is vital to have a firm understanding of the concept before introducing an algorithm. Otherwise, math is just rote memorization and procedure with no connection to number.
