Relatable. Relevant. Real Life.
I went through an entire school year without hearing, “what am I ever going to use this for?’ I also went through an entire school year without staying up late watching YouTube videos to figure out a math concept to in turn, attempt to reteach it to my kid. Want to know what else? I have finally found a math curriculum that I can confidently recommend to everyone.

The year was 1980 something. My 4th grade teacher would sit on a stool with a ticking stopwatch in her hand, and a gleam in her eye.

I have scoured Pinterest and Google for fun things to celebrate the special day. Most of these activities are no mess, require minimal prep, and have been tried among multiple ages!

I’ve seen smiles of delight and tears of despair (mostly my despair) in our 12 years of homeschooling. Thankfully there are many products available to teach my least favorite subject so I don’t have to! I’m excited to tell you about one I had the chance to review recently, A+ Interactive Math.
