Just for the record, Mary has one boy and one girl. You might be
mixing her up with Julie S or one of our other large families.:)?

No I think she was referring to the original poster. She said she has 7 boys.

It helped me the most as a newbie to read Sandra Dodd and Joyce
Fetteroll's websites on unschooling.

http://www.sandradodd.com/unschooling

http://www.joyfullyrejoycing.com

Also try searching "math" in the archives or "newbie." It can get a
little overwhelming so the sites above help make addressing the issues
generally easier. :)
