I love math.

Alas, I’m not a person to whom it is intuitive. I really have to struggle with understanding aspects of it well. That’s when when I became a mom, I promised myself my kids wouldn’t have the same handicap as do I.

I’m pretty pleased to announce I’ve achieved this goal!! My kids are in honors math and are doing superbly.

Here’s how I did it. Every day after school, I’d prepare additional MommyWork from EdHelper - this site lets you produce 100s of individualized worksheets and lessons. I’d make certain to add elements of fun by retyping up the questions with their friends names, their favorite hobbies, etc. It worked really well.

Math is embraced in our family. On our kitchen wall, I designed 4 posters for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - all of my kids know that word problems which involve area generally mean, multiplication. “How much of each” generally means division. And so on, and so on.

Math means “fun” and “challenges” for my family. Think of the benefit my kids will have once they encounter pre-calc, Calc, diffiques, etc….it will be something into which to dive instead of something of which to fear and shun.

You can do that too for your family! Here are some excellent math resources:

• Beat the Calculator
• Math Tricks and Tips
• Math Stories
• Math Cats
• Ms. Lindquist Algebra Tutor
• Continental Math

Math is a great subject to love. Give your kids the love of math today - it will definitely help them in the future.

Enjoy,

Barbara
