Math. Say it like either of my boys and it comes out a whiny maaaaaaath.
Why do they hate it so? That’s probably our fault. From the time we
started homeschooling, we ended up projecting the husband’s
math anxiety onto the boys. Of
course, we didn’t realize it at the time. But lemme
tell you, projecting stuff like that is much easier than one would think.
Some of things we have found, that work for our family’s
math needs?
Using an online math curriculum. Since they prefer everything on
the computer, rather than in a textbook or workbook, has been the best thing we
could do. We have done math worksheets before, but very rarely.
Outside of their online curriculum, both of my boys will play
some math games online. There are free
sites out there, like Learning Games for Kids, that offer tons of online
learning games. And, they offer them for FREE.
Please share with us…what are some things that work for
your kiddos when they need math help?
