Feel your pain and I'm soo 'not' sorry our 2 youngest boys are math whizzes so far.....However, I let them use 'cheat' sheets for multiplication....gave up long ago stressing over the memorization of such but do teach the concept of 'addition' as the basis for the times tables...AND whatever you lack in teaching math surely you will 'make up' in language skills.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592031449482706276.post-54582643793403132192010-10-12T05:18:10.875+03:002010-10-12T05:18:10.875+03:00Been there, done that.

I love the two page lessons and the kids love it that I let them cross out any section entitled "Copy and do." Overkill, in my opinion. Maybe you've read how we use it, but I highly recommend tearing out one chapter at a time and stapling it together between colored paper covers. Then offer an incentive for a good test grade or a finished "book." It takes away some of the overwhelming feelings that a great big book brings. <br /><br />Have fun! :)♥ Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023086138794869820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592031449482706276.post-13241776096544188012010-10-11T17:48:53.673+03:002010-10-11T17:48:53.673+03:00I had a very difficult time mastering math as a ch...I had a very difficult time mastering math as a child and i felt so stupid because of it. (I'm still not a mathematical thinker)<br /><br />Some people's minds just take longer to move past the story concept style thinking to the logical style thinking - just how God made them. But it will happen in it's due time :) God is in control of all things, even when all children learn to count money... or tie their shoe... or speak their first word. all things have a reason and purpose even those little ones that make us bang our heads in frustration.... actually... ESPECIALLY he little ones that make us bang our heads in frustration!Lauranoreply@blogger.com
