I did finally realize that, for us, there was no right math program. Anything we used worked well as long as we were diligent to do it on a daily basis. <br /><br />We worship with several math professors. We found that their enthusiasm and interest was/is contagious, and we sought opportunities for our children to interact with them. <br /><br />Both of my children responded well to real life uses for math. One is studying Calculus I this summer in college, the other is studying Calculus III. They still talk with great delight about their professors' abilities to relate the subject to everyday realities.<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-10012188361566885462012-07-29T19:47:35.348-04:002012-07-29T19:47:35.348-04:00Thanks so much for this post, Karen.

You have given me many options, and I'll be checking out these resources. :)<br />I feel less stressed about it already! ;)<br />Wishing you a blessed week,<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273301456471935137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-52391529789976685332012-07-29T17:16:45.073-04:002012-07-29T17:16:45.073-04:00Refreshing and delightful post as usual...I never ...Refreshing and delightful post as usual...I never realized that somewhere in the back of my mind I felt that I had "cheated" my children because we skipped around with different math programs in the early years. And I don't give myself "credit" for all the hands-on math we did...so much cooking, baking. One of the best ways I found to teach fractions was to give the children candy and have them divide it evenly. Talk about having their complete attention! :)<br /><br />I was relieved when we found "the" one that was right for us- Math U See- many years ago. My oldest, who is graduating this year is still using it.<br />Then we found Life of Fred, which I would classify as living math. The author is absolutely passionate about math, and the stories although very silly are so engaging! Math U See was not clicking for my now 13 yo ds with Aspergers. LOF is something that did and he loves and the three youngest children will use.<br /><br />I think we need to give ourselves to grace as homeschooling moms to say "it's okay to use a variety of things until you find what works" (although I know I myself have learned not to just switch because "I'm" bored with something.)<br /><br />Praise the Lord that there are so many programs out there to choose from and so many other real life practical ways to impart math knowledge.<br /><br />What is the game that is in the top picture with the dice? I've never seen that one before.<br /><br />Blessings, <br />NanciJoyfulmomof6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-68068597842994320122012-07-28T14:33:20.178-04:002012-07-28T14:33:20.178-04:00Mary,

I think I will still check out that one for math in the garden though. We have a huge garden and want to get the two younger boys ( ages 12 and 14) in and applying their math skills.

I forgot I wanted it and I want to get it while I can. <br /><br />Praying blessings on your week end.<br /><br />Blessings In Him<><<br />-MaryCanadagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352430241745686391noreply@blogger.com
