HS - math class

Every day we do math.  Sometimes we play math games and sometimes we do worksheets.  Sometimes we do workbooks and sometimes we learn new math concepts.  The point is we do math all the time.  Usually the kids are pretty darn good about learning and practicing and then, sometimes, they're not.  Today they were doing a great job.

Last year when I was still learning how to home school more than just one kid, we did a lot of worksheets, flash cards, games and puzzles.  They both did just fine and passed all the next grade level assessments.  This year we chose a more organized curriculum to help me not have to work so hard.  I'm working smarter this year, not harder.  

We chose Horizon math because it is simple, straight forward, easy for me to follow, and gives very specific instruction to me (a person not so comfortable with math).  It also allows for a lot of extra practice if we need it, and sometimes we do.

 They really are having fun today.  They both thought today's assignments were easy.
