Math The Easy Way

I am so tired of complicated curriculums with lingo that as a parent I have to decipher. I tell my kids if you don't understand it and I don't understand it then you don't have to do it. I  plan on customizing my kids lessons using the following website: Math Drills. They have a lot of math concepts drills and they have the answer sheet. Parents can use this to help their kids practice math.

For higher math we will be using  algebra resources found  here

Geometry can be done with the math drills website and Khan Academy.

Of course doing math using the real world is  more useful and kids enjoy it better. Here is some ideas to get you going: Math in Real Life  Some of my readers have been enjoying the post on  Aviation math. 

I have collected a series of books from Cliff Notes (highschool math) and a math dictionary ( for elementary and middle school). I also got a couple books by ELP called Math Practice Simplified Fractions and another one on decimals and Percents. I really like the way the put together these books. Easy flow and good amount of practice.  My kids love video gaming so I make it a point for them to encourage them to play math games. See also  kindergarden and first grade games. To help them memorize math facts they use Xtra math.

After 10 years of homeschooling, I have noticed that my kids learn differently and I need to always find what helps them thrive to learn.  For us simple is better!
