My kids are begging for screen time to do... math? – MathTango: Grades K-5 Learning Review

I am flabbergasted. Completely flummoxed. Four children, ages 5-10 are BEGGING me for screen time so that they can... do... math. Math. My 5 year old completed an entire school year’s worth of lessons in 2 days. I provided her with a plate of colorful shirt buttons to help her add and subtract. She doesn’t need the buttons anymore. My 8 year old sat at the breakfast table and taught himself division. I am serious. And every time they get a little weary and I suggest taking a break they go “aww, man! But I’m just 500 coins away from buying _____ for my monsters.” And then they do math problems for another hour. Guys, all four of them worked on math for 7 hours today. It’s the middle of the summer, we have a swimming pool, they have friends in the neighborhood, and we aren’t weirdos. They WANTED to do math problems because it was fun.
