In reply to Amy. Actually it's in the plans! I thought I'd run a Top 10 series for a time and have a bit of fun with it. :-)

Love all your tips! I heartily agree with all of them. I am very math minded, so I really like teaching math, but I know I’m not in the majority =) How about a 10 Tips for Teaching Grammar post? 😉 haha

In reply to Terri Presser. Thanks, Terri. While I do insist on formal schoolwork happening in my house, I'm a firm believer in a little sugar helps the medicine go down. If we can do school and have fun, I'm all for it!

I especially like the last point “have fun”, this is something that doesn’t always happen when our children don’t learn how we think they should. Thank you also for the encouragement to realise that our children all learn at different rates. Thanks for sharing this great post with us at Good Morning Mondays. Blessings

In reply to Nicole Renee. The calendar has been wonderful for my family. The teens are so ingrained that 'an event doesn't exist unless it's on the calendar' that they habitually write their activities on it. It's an easy way to stay up on what everyone's doing each day. :-)

In reply to Jennifer | The Deliberate Mom. Math is easily incorporated into everyday living in the early years, isn't it! I've found high school algebra, geometry, and trigonometry to be a bit harder. ;-) I've rarely tried using 2 math programs at the same time. Which 2 programs are you using?

Visiting from Trivium Tuesdays! These ideas are great! You are inspiring me to post a calendar! It makes complete sense but just isn’t something I’ve done because I keep a personal planner.

Math can so easily be incorporated into everyday living. We use 2 curriculum programs and have been doing so since my daughter started grade 1, 2 years ago.

Wonderful tips here!

Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).

Wishing you a lovely day.
xoxo

In reply to Miranda.

I’ve done the same thing ~ multiple times, Miranda. It was a waste of time switching our math curriculum when the program we were using worked well for my family. We keep ending up back where we started. 😉

I’m thrilled you love these tips! Thank you. 🙂

In reply to Debbie Prater. Thanks Debbie! We enjoy using a math program, but I adore supplementing with everyday math. :-)
