Brian had a dice game for math homework. I was cooking when he brought it out and he asked if I could play, so I suggested that, if he didn't want to wait for me to reach a stopping point, he could teach his sister to play - if it was a game that could be played with adding or subtracting, or even counting (rather than multiplication). I believe the game called for 5 or more rolls of the dice, so it had bigger numbers than Honor has been using in kindergarten, but she can count dots, even if she's not up to complex double-digit addition yet.
After playing Brian's homework game, Honor got out a worksheet that her class had done and she taught Brian how to play a number race game with dice.
Who says math isn't fun?

Cool. It is nice that the two of them can sit and play together. Not all of our kids are willing to do this. ;)
