Keeping Sharp

Metaha,

After a day of hard labor planting trees the volunteers decided to challenge the children's brains this week with a bit of math. Breaking out the math books, the children knew what was coming and were very excited to test their skills. This time we decided not to give the children the abacuses to see what other creative ways they could come up with the answers to the problems. It turns out the children are very creative. They were using tallies on paper, fingers, toes and anything they could use to count. It was great to see the children making the next step forward. Below are a few pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Little finger counting never hurts to get the job done.
