Home School Math Programs (division and multiplication)
If you are like me, you probably don’t like the rote memorization that is taught in most schools today. Math can be a hard concept, but it can be even more difficult when children don’t “see” the purpose behind it. Instead of forcing my child to memorize all her multiplication facts with flash cards, we came up with a fun, yet simple way for her to learn multiplication facts using patterns, scrap paper, and a pencil! These simple home school math programs are so much more fun for students! Here’s what you do: [Read more…]

5 Fun Online Strategy Games – We all like to enjoy and be entertained by games, now and again. Personally, I enjoy games with a little bit of brain power involved.
