new topic-unschooling math
Cathie _
So, to move along, how do you guys unschool math? Thats a tough one for me,
as it doesn't seem to come up in my kids daily lives without my pushing it.
I found it very easy when the kids were young-I remember asking "How many
plates would we need on the table if Aunt Christy were coming to dinner?"
and everyone knew fractions pretty well just because we were doing good to
find one measuring cup when we made cookies.
Now that they are older though, it is a little more unnerving to me. On one
hand I think that I didn't understand algebra after taking it, and it hasn't
hurt me, but on the other hand, will they be limited by not learning higher
math as children?
TIA
