]]> Enjoying summer as an unschooler. Ethan has a reduced schedule that he set up for summer that mostly involves math and reading. Here’s what he did this week.

July 7

  • Out for a morning jog.
  • Ethan created a multiplication modulo 12 table. Modulo multiplication is figuring out clock time.
  • He then wanted to make a larger version of the table.
  • Here are instructions for how to clock multiply.
  • And a chart with subset data.
  • Explaining clock multiplication.
  • Inventing a new way to play pool.
  • Then taking leap into the pool.
  • He wanted to see how long he could balance. His record was 56.36 seconds.
  • A reminder to be totally ready before taking the EMF course test.
  • Counting down to when his auntie arrives from Korea.

July 8

  • Ethan’s been swimming in our pool on the days he doesn’t have swimming lessons.
  • Helping to clean up after his swim.
  • Origami.
  • That’s a Korean boy Ethan befriended. He has an older brother who went home early.

July 9

July 10

  • Kal came over to swim in the pool. They played with magnets after swimming.

July 11

July 12

  • Morning jog.
  • Building a solar device.
  • He made the solar fan and it worked!
  • He wanted to sort the puzzle pieces to put the puzzle together later.

July 13

  • Morning jog. I wanted to show Ethan how changing the angle of the camera can create a different perspective. In this case, we can make Ethan look much bigger.
  • Or make hime look much smaller.
  • He couldn’t figure out what this was that he found. Turned out to be dried up piece of apple skin.
  • He worked on counting subsets on EMF.
  • He then wanted to play with his snap circuits set.
  • He found a unique way to draw patterns on the spinning discs.
  • He turned on the motor, then he would touch the disk with a marker.
  • We learned what µF stands for on a capacitor from the Snap Circuits set: Microfarad
  • Nico and Paulo came over and they had a blast.
