Fun Math Activities

Homeschoolers came together in part 3: The Courageous Homeschooling Handbook to share ideas to teach math in a way that's interestign and fun.

They prove that up to high school age you don't need to pay for anything unless you want to. The benefit of homeschooling is that you have all sorts of opportunites that just aren't there in a classroom to incorporate math into real-life.

N.B. Please note the third Courageous Homeschooling Handbook is not solely about teaching homschool math. It also covers how to teach reading and writing as well as help with challenges like dyslexia, autism and anxiety. More info. here.

Kids Math Games

Board and card games are brilliant for sneaking in all sorts of math learning without anyone noticing. They also allow for repetition and re-inforcement of number skills.

2,000 homeschoolers come together to suggest the best homeschool math board and card games.

There are some fantastic suggestions on the page. There's also a TED talk from John Bennett, a professional math teacher who knows that games are the best way to teach logic and math.

Learning The Times Tables

That repetition is especially useful when it comes to learning the math times tables.

I've brought together lots of different activities and ideas to help your child gain mastery of multiplication, including a free e-book.

You can also get a free printable so you can work out how to use your fingers to do the nine times table!

There can be few more traumatic experiences for some kids than answering worksheets on fractions; I can remember the awful feeling of sheer dread even now.

See how we've used homeschooling games, candy bars and even a child's watch to bring parts to life.

We've used a similar approach with homeschooling geometry activities. When it comes to math worksheets, 3-dimensional objects rely on your child having a good understanding of shapes. So why not have some fun and try making some?
