Oh what joy on our boat thanks to our friend Michelle from Catamaran "Jade". She was so kind to borrow me the book "Maths for Mums and Dads" by Rob Eastaway and Mike Askew. It is a book that shows you how to take the pain out of Maths homew...ork and what can I say it has worked for Julia and Carlos. Since I decided to really dig our heels into our math knowledge and not only increase our speed in mental calculation, but also set the ground rules into concrete we are also doing math sheets on Saturdays and Sundays. Yesterday I explained and taught the tricks out of the books how to do long multiplication and Carlos shouts out...oh that is fun smile emoticon omg I could not believe my ears .... I was so happy to have found a method to teach that is actually fun for my little darlings. Julia actually asked today if she can do some more since long multiplication has become so easy to calculate...Yeah... Teaching and learning math can be FUN! .I could not be any happier with those results.
