What a great site for homeschoolers! This is a site that has fun math games and lots, lots, more that will help you find ways to plow through that brick wall that kids seem to build when we try to teach them new math concepts.
Most of my kids have loved math, not sure if it’s in the genes, or we just got lucky. Great curriculum like Bob Jones Math in the early years has always been our favorites, but mainly, we always have looked at math as a game. It’s probably more of a ‘boy thing’, but insert competition in the mix, and it always seemed to help get things done. Even getting them to take showers, which wasn’t their favorite thing to do (to say the least). At shower time, we’d pit them against each other and announce, “Who can take the fastest shower?” and remind them to use soap. Math was often done the same way. “Who can finish their math first?” and timing the math fact sheets to see if they could beat their previous time always helped us get out of those “I don’t wanna do it” ruts.
Let me know if you have other math sites or techniques that have helped you in teaching math!
