Homeschool Math

Homeschool Math. What do those words do to you when you hear them? Do you think, "I love math, I can't wait to teach it to my kids!" Or do your thoughts run more along the line of "How am I ever going to teach it to my children?"

Thinking back to my own experience, I remember that I was the kind of student who just wanted to know how a problem was solved, I didn't need to know why I was doing it that way. Teaching my own children has caused me to stop and discover the why of the problem and not just the how. I also remember liking math and I have to wonder why it is that all of my children dislike it! Is it just because it is hard sometimes and takes some effort?

It certainly can't be because I haven't tried a variety of programs. If there is one part of my home school curriculum that has had a lot of variety, it is this department. Over the years I have tried MCP, A Beka, Saxon Math, Math U See and Life of Fred for a variety of students and ages.

I think that I have hit on a mix of curriculum that works for my children. I know that no two kids are the same, but I will offer you my recommendations in the event that they will help you to make that all important curriculum decision.
