Morning,

I’ll be the first to admit it - I love math. Don’t have a natural knack for it, mind you, as a matter of fact, I’m not gifted in it whatsoever….but wow, I do adore math. Loved it so much I majored in it in college and founded the first Math Club there as well. Ah, those were the days.

Now, you might be wondering - gee Barbara, if you’re so totally an idjut in the subject, why do you love it so much? And that’s a very legit question. You see, when in grammar school and the like, I never pushed myself to learn math…and so never could do the subject adequately. But upon graduating from college, I learned that math is the foundation for just about any and all technical endeavors. My math degree got me interviews that a comp sci degree would not!

One of my favorite sayings I learned from college is the following:

• Where am I now?
• To where do I want to go?
• How do I get there from here?

Apply the logical deductions of mathematics to questions like the above….and you uncover your answer far sooner than if you flailed around like a fish out of water.

So! One of the promises I made myself was that when I raised my kids, they wouldn’t have the same problems I myself possess with math. I made darned sure that my kids learned to love the subject and the beauty the numbers showcase - to this day, they’re all straight A students in the subject.

Which brings me to math resources online! Here are some of the super sites I’ve used myself to teach me kids - enjoy!

• Beat the Calculator, Mental Math
  
• Edhelper Math Worksheets
• Math Word Problem Stories
• SuperKids Math Worksheet Generator
• Math Word Problems For Kids

Want some resources for dealing with current math phobia? Consider:

• Coping with Math Anxiety
• Help for Math Anxiety
• Math.com Math Anxiety
• Overcoming Fear of Math

As a parent, you owe it to your children to give them the gift of mathematics competency. Math is the king of subjects - it will help your children immensely as they grow. Make certain they benefit from it.

Enjoy,

Barbara
