Text of the page (random words):
children to guess quickly and then prove their guess it is fun quick and it builds enormous confidence in their maths ability this can be done as living maths in the kitchen while cooking and baking in the garden when laying out vegetable beds and planting seedlings in rows while cutting material making dresses or designing woodwork patterns while packing away toys doing hobbies and crafts or travelling on road trips many children will always hate maths their brains are just not wired to excel in maths however maths literacy is vital and will greatly improve their independence and confidence in daily life stick to the most reasonable maths program and assist your child to at least master the basics my artistic creative daughters have been unhappy about maths for years but i have not negotiated with them that they drop maths until at least grade 10 for matric maths or maths literacy is a compulsory subject and your teen will still need the above skills our south african maths literacy course is excellent it is real relevant and within the ability of a non maths student i share this all with this background my early childhood years of insecurity with maths made me literally throw up with fear especially in high school then when i was a student teacher i was once assigned to a school s maths teacher for all the grades 3 4 and 5 maths classes i spent hours and hours on my lesson preparation because i was terrified that i couldn t teach maths it quickly made me realize that the best method to preparation and understanding was lots of scratching of pencil on paper and using several different textbooks to see the different approaches to teach the concepts a brilliant mathematician does not necessarily make a great maths teacher in fact the teacher who may have struggled with maths may make a more compassionate teacher and will know exactly how they learnt the maths skills through practice when i tutored my high schoolers i did the maths work for them with them sitting watching and listening then with them and finally i sat next to them as they worked if they were stuck i would try another approach or break it down differently even though i taught these lessons i didn t always have time to prepare before hand and so the two of us figured it out together we battled struggled sympathized and encouraged each other as we went along it was the one place in their independent studies that we were vitally connected mom you can teach your child maths you do not need to be a maths whizz blessings nadene share share on pinterest opens in new window

comment a reset is a wonderful way of restoring rest in our lives our days are a rhythm of routines that form resets waking and sleeping eating and working when homeschooling and raising young children it is vital to reset throughout the day and especially i find the most importantly at the end of the day make it a habit to clean up and pack away at the end of each day involve everyone even toddlers as they pack away the toys books and papers clear tables and surfaces tidy up and move furniture back into place my young kids loved to sing barney s clean up song clean up clean up everybody everywhere as they packed away their toys before bath time this prepares a clean slate for the next day may i offer some practical advice to moms with young children make it fun sing songs play upbeat music talk with an accent or silly voice instead of barking out instructions think of fun ways to toss soft toys into baskets scoot small objects with a dustpan find and pack items by colour hide a special toy secretly and ask them to see if they can find it while tidying work together teams partners helpers makes the job easier assign an older child with a younger child simple predictable schedule young children feel secure with routines and schedules and love repetition use what works again and again keep it simple when your days are too full too many outside the home activities children become stressed and start to resist and refuse routines pare back your activities stay home to reset for at least 3 days to re establish basic routines use a timer set a timer for 5 minutes to 15 minutes to do a chore or clear a room or pack away things there is so much momentum created when children know that there is very little time left and then the reward use rewards yes you can go play outside as soon as you pack all these blocks into the basket as soon as we have cleared the carpet as soon as you have put away food snacks and drinks make lovely rewards i would prepare some popcorn and a dvd for afternoon rewards free time play time outdoors time playing with friends are all marvelous options other than screen time screen time is a very powerful reward tool if not over used or abused do it all through the day young toddlers create constant chaos clean and pack away as they move on to the next thing this way you aren t left with every room filled with scattered toys and stuff get physical let your young child get rid of some energy by skipping rope mini trampoline or swinging while they play you can reset the room for the next activity let them choose ask your child where they would like to start do you want to clean the carpet or the table giving your child options makes them feel that they can take charge early morning quiet times is a crucial reset for me i love to wake and spend time alone before the family wake up and the demands of the day begin sitting at a clear desk with calm and quiet i focus on my spiritual walk journal read the word and pray i would also spend time planning and writing out my to do lists here s a wonderful verse that spiritually resets my heart because of the lord s great love we are not consumed for his compassions never fail they are new every morning great is your faithfulness i say to myself the lord is my portion therefore i will wait for him lamentations 3 22 24 when homeschooling i found that my children loved to come to their schoolroom that was all tidy and ready rather than flounder through chaos mess and muddles i loved to surprise my kids with new lessons new books posters or art materials laid out ready for them as a professional school teacher i learnt that preparation was essential to good classroom discipline and it is the same when homeschooling a mom who is lost in mess and confusion hunting for the cd or book gives her children that time to play chatter and even disappear before the lesson starts after the last lesson i would rather spend 15 minutes filing and packing away my papers books and school prep in the late afternoon than arrive at my cluttered desk the next day and feel overwhelmed before i even started meals form natural resets and homeschooling allows for these times to be family times in our family we would all help prepare the food and then eat together before the children that were responsible for certain chores cleared the table washed the dishes and cleaned off work surfaces meal planning when i use our aga or slow cooker meant that i prepared the main meal early in the day that would simmer away while i worked and taught late afternoons before bath time was a big reset when my children were young the children helped take washing off the line fold laundry and pack clothing away we often sorted and folded laundry while watching a dvd then bedrooms were tidied and they all went to bath bath time was a wonderful time to calm everyone down preparing for evening and bedtime after supper we had read aloud time bedtime routines and one on one with the kids before we ended the day reset your house at night before i go to bed i spend a few moments in the lounge and fluff up pillows fold blankets and take any coffee mugs to the kitchen before switching out the lights i loved to have my kitchen work surfaces cleared and cleaned off any dishes or mugs that didn t make the evening dishwasher round i would quickly rinse or on a bad night simply soak them in the sink i would check the bathrooms and tidy up hang up or straighten bath towels then i would go to bed feeling as if my home was in order i used to follow the fly lady routine for many years an intimate evening reset is a wonderful habit my children and i wrote special notes to each other i love to spend time chatting with my hubby giving thanks for the day planning for the next day and the week problem solving finding perspective talking about finances business dreams wishes praying together being intimate is the most rewarding way to reset and end each day there were seasons of keeping a gratitude diary trust that your family has blessed times of resetting in what ways do you reset your lives please share with us in the comments below p s here s a very
