The Massive Guide for Homeschooling Math

There are fewer words that instill more fear in a homeschool mom than the word, math, does. Unless you happen to be one of those moms that loves math, the idea of teaching math to our children can cause many a restless night. Even if you do happen to love math, that does not mean that your children will, or that they will have a natural affinity for it.

We’ve pulled together our best homeschooling math posts to help you find just what you need to successfully teach this subject in  your homeschools and help your students to be prepared for their adult lives, whether they are headed toward a college education, trade school, or simply their role as a wife, husband and parent.

We trust, that you are the best resource for your children. But, we also know that when necessary there are many options for outsourcing math, and we know that you can teach math in your homeschool, and your kids can learn what they need.

This month, April, is Math Aweness Month.
We thought, what better time to provide homeschoolers with a resource for all they need to teach/outsource math in their homeschools.

That’s why we’ve pulled together this Massive Guide for Homescooling Math
