This is to share the unit studies I put together for my homeschooled children. Most will be geared to elementary school ages, but can be easily adapted for other ages. I hope you are able to use some of these lessons.

Math Monday: Dental Care
In honor of Febraury being Children's Dental Health Month, we will be studying dental care this week.
Counting/Arithmetic
- Count how many teeth are in your mouth. How many are on top? How many on the bottom? Add the two numbers together.
- SoftSchool.com has a neat way to include math and vocabulary.
Graphing
- Interview your friends and young family members to find out how many of their baby teeth have fallen out so far. Make a bar chart to show your results. You could also do this by asking people what their favorite flavor of toothpaste is.
- Keep a tally chart of how many times you can brush your teeth with one tube of tooth paste. Start the chart when you open a new tube of tooth paste and make one tally each time you brush your teeth.
- Create a chart to remind you to brush twice a day and floss once. Be sure to fill in your chart as you do each thing.

Great ideas here. Can I ask how old your kids are? Mine are 11 and 12 - the ones at home and still schooling, that is. :)
Enjoying your blog - from one home educating mom to another
