Sophie's Blog Day Eleven: You worked on math worksheets all week and today you reviewed your work with Dad, tell me about learning math with Dad. Describe in two sentences what you learned about degrees on a globe. Write about your Viking dream.
It was easier than working by myself because I haven't done math like that since last year's school and working with dad made it easier to understand. The degrees are divided in quadrants by the Equator and Prime Meridian. Latitude and Longitude are measured by degrees. Everything I learned about Vikings was in my Viking dream and in my dream we were at Funtown Splashtown.
