SH #111: Don’t Make Math a Misery

SH #111: Don’t Make Math a Misery ~
Written by Jamie C. Martin of Simple Homeschool and Introverted Moms

Welcome back to a new episode of the Simple Homeschool podcast, continuing this year’s series with my 18-year-old son Jonathan!

Jonathan was homeschooled from K-12th grade/graduation and today we are answering a question that came in from Danielle: What you did for math with your kids at various ages?

Don’t Make Math a Misery

In Episode 111, you’ll hear us discuss:

• How much we love Family Ties (doesn’t have to do with math, but still fun 😉
• How long we waited to require formal math and what we did instead in the early years
• The disconnect a lot of young kids feel when it comes to math that isn’t relevant in their daily lives
• The practical tools & curricula we used for math in various phases of homeschooling
