Do not destroy curiosity
The temptation at this stage is to move away from exploring maths through physical objects and play and dive into worksheets, facts and methods.
Your main aim should actually be to encourage and maintain curiosity.
This means continuing to use physical objects, modelling written methods but not stressing if your child copies or not as well as being open to a range of ideas and strategies.
When I started down this path with my eldest home educated child, I recorded exactly what I did so that other homeschooling parents can use this in their own home.
Not to copy, but for inspiration. You can grab this for free below.
" Doing this course with Ruth has completely changed our outlook and expectations when it comes to maths. It has helped us realise how fun and creative maths can be"
Self Paced Master Classes for Parents
"I love your course and have felt so inspired to teach maths more joyfully and playfully. That is definitely rubbing off on the children"
Instead of a workbook
This is a playlist that I have created called Instead of a workbook, designed to support home educating parents be more creative when approaching maths.
Make sure you hit subscribe so that you don’t miss new ones as I add them.
"The Maths Un-Curriculum has given me so much more confidence in how to approach maths as unschoolers. The resources and ideas are great and we have already used some of them before finishing the course. The best thing is that I have realised that even with more formal maths, it is ok to not know things, to explore then together with out children, and not to be scared of getting things wrong."
Deep Dive Live Course for Parents
Your home schooled child is ready to start learning more formal maths. You are not ready for exams or qualification, but you are aware that there is a chance of these being a part of your child's future. Curriculums, text books and online programmes feel dull. They don't inspire your child, feel really high demand and quite school like. You are looking for something that is totally flexible and adaptable to your child. Where you have full autonomy and choice but without the overwhelm and high demands.
This is a live, 4 week course for parents that want to leave with a completely tailored set of maths resources that are easy to use and dive into at home with your home educated child. No teacher speak. No demands. All the autonomy.
