Review of Family Math book
|
Time:off and on throughout our studies We are an unschool family, however, I encourage the basics as much as possible, for my needs. My daughter doesn't respond very well to worksheets, loves to play games and we find that she really learns best with games...it is difficult to find a basic math book, other than family math that has that many games...and supports her actual learning. I am at a quandry with what to do, I really want her to learn to write down the problems..but perhaps she is too young for this. Why you liked/didn't like the book: We enjoy the math book thoroughly, but I need to always be present for the work, I am more interested in her learning autonomy in her work, but again, perhaps she is too young for this. Any other helpful hints: Allow the child to choose the game, and based upon her/his ability, have them create the game as much as possible. This is where I am finding the autonomy in her work.
