I had my nephew home schooling here for a year and a half - grades 8 and part of 9 - and loved it so much! algebra is way easier to teach than addition, lol.E.

Instead I'm just printing off the ones that I made.<BR/><BR/>Loving this blog too. It's so much fun to see what others are doing!!<BR/><BR/>JolantheJolanthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887081852111099540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079228106328008674.post-70170083688527377872008-08-17T19:16:00.000-07:002008-08-17T19:16:00.000-07:00LOVE LOVE LOVE HWOT!

It ju...Algebra was the only math I actually liked! It just seemed to make sense to me. Not so with everythings else - I think because I didn't get a good foundation. I got degrees in engineering but still never felt confident about math!<BR/>We use RightStart Math (similar to Math U See) and love the abacus, manipulatives, and games. No drills in K and 1st gr. I struggled teaching K math (I had used something other than RS)and thought it was crazy that I didn't like teaching something that seemed so easy! You have to be working with the program that is best for the student AND you as the teacher so that you are both enjoying and learning - even with the basics.<BR/>Looks like a great plan and good progress so far!<BR/>AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515461667570309152noreply@blogger.com
