We're using Math-U-See Primer for SK's Kindergarten math. We've been learning place value these few weeks. Thanks to Lauren, we have a large (almost poster size), laminated "Decimal Street" on which to place the manipulative blocks. There are three "houses" on the street: units, tens and hundreds. The exercise goes, that he looks at a written number, such as 257, and then "builds" the number by placing the correct number of blocks on the correct house.
During this same time, he had watched multiple episodes of Storm Chasers with KiSA. I shouldn't have been surprised then, when in the middle of a math lesson, a "tornado" hit decimal street and scattered all the blocks out of the houses.
When the creator of this curriculum aimed for interactive, I'm not sure this is what he had in mind.
