everyone, even young children, can easily succeed in. And

Your child breezes
through spelling, social studies, and art, but when it comes
to math, your child's attitude quickly sours. This can

refusal to do a lesson, a situation we have all been in.

math, regardless of their initial level of interest! |

The Most Dreaded Subject for Homeschool Parents
What is probably the most
dreaded subject for homeschool parents? Yes, you're
right--M-A-T-H!!!!!!! We might be confident teaching history
or spelling or literature.....but math just scares us!
Perhaps we ourselves weren't Mathematicians in our younger
years.....or we were adequate.....but it's been sooooo long!

haven't)! In this case, what do we do? |

Cows are too big to put in your pocket! Learning the Real
Value of Money
Money originally came into being when people started living
in farming communities and started specializing in what they
did for a living. They became efficient at what they did and
produced enough surplus product to trade with their
neighbors. Money was invented because basically cows are too
big to put in your pocket to do trade. Money is simply a
convenient tool. |

How to Motivate Your Student to Study Math
"Math," (Yikes!)...
For some of us, this simple word sends a shiver up our spine
as those long ago tormented years in math classes come back
in a wave of consciousness so strong we can still smell the
musty text books and # 2 pencils. As parents, we desire to
help our children learn and understand how they will one-day
come to use math in their everyday lives. How then, do we
get past our nightmarish math memories to the point where,
while educating our children, we too can overcome the
hesitations and learn to enjoy math? |

Your Homeschooled Student
M-A-T-H! I don't know about you, but that simple word sends
a shiver up my spine as memories of past math classes come
back to me, filled with reminders of musty textbooks and #2
pencils. As parents, we strive to help our children learn
and understand how they will one day use math in their daily
lives. But how in the world am I going teach math to my
child when I am not confident in my own math skills? How do
we educate our children while also overcoming our
hesitations and learning to enjoy math? Many homeschooling
parents struggle with these same questions while trying to
select the right math curriculum for their child. Here is a
list of the top 10 things to remember when choosing a math
curriculum for your child. |
