We are all in love with our wooden London Playset/s which we acquired recently. It’s so precious and beautiful that I can’t seem to take it out the bag!
Now how do we use these figures?

Mavi didn’t like math. When he was around 5yrs old, he would rather read books than work with math. He’s excuse would always be “I’m tired” or “it’s difficult”. I can truly understand him though. I didn’t enjoy math when I was younger. Until I stepped into secondary school and discovered why we need math.
So instead of forcing him to solve arithmetic problems and giving him number activities, I exposed him to real life problems so he can appreciate math. I made him understand WHY WE NEED TO LEARN NUMBERS AND MATH. We would go to the groceries and count our items all together, doing addition and subtraction in between. Of course, he’s not aware we’re doing math, all he knows is that he’s helping Mommy do some groceries. At home, I secretly incorporate addition and subtraction by counting his missing pens, his toys and how many books he has read.
He loves the real life math! He can’t stand arithmetic problems but he enjoys real life problems. So what I did was create a bunch of colorful cards for us to work on, making sure there’s pictures (and we mostly use counters as well) to make it attractive. In the problems, I used his friends’ name so he’ll like it, and of course he finds it funny! He kept asking for more, more questions as he liked solving the problems. And that was the game changer.
Through these problem solving cards, he was able to appreciate math, and could now understand why he needs to practice arithmetic. He loves to solve math problems these days on his own and still loves solving problems.
So I created these problem solving cards for Pre-K students. It contains:
Mavi worked on these cards when he was 5-6yrs old. Though this is intended for 5-6yrs old children, older or younger kids can still use the cards as a practice material. Hope you like it and find it useful like we do. Thanks!
Presenting to you Plant Kingdom printable material. We used this recently in our Plant Kingdom nature study. This is perfect for grade-schoolers who want to learn and understand all about the world of plants and how they are classified.
Greetings!
We're revisiting our Europe Study this month and I've been a little bit busy adding more materials to our study. Last year, I published these learning materials for a Europe Study Unit and now I came up with new ones that we can use to have a better understanding of this continent.
I have here the 43 European countries in their territorial map outlines/contours. There are two files available: map in outlines and map in solid black (click the image for the link).
These materials aim to help Mavi identify the countries of Europe by just looking at the contour of a specific country. I remember when I was in high school we would do this in History class but of course, it only involves Asian countries.
My son definitely loves this. He enjoys matching the cards to our Europe Puzzle Map. I have to say though that some contours can really be challenging to match!
If you don't own a wooden puzzle map, you can still use the file as this is a 3-part card which means it includes picture cards and labels as well.
By the way, I printed out the ones with the outlines only as I am saving black ink :) But I find the solid black ones so pretty!
I have a few more materials to publish in the next few days. I can't wait to share it with you!
Oh, for other references please read about our 2013 Europe Study here and here.
Thank you!
