Providing our children a solid foundation in math is at the heart of the homeschool vision for many families. Yet, the experts can’t seem to agree on what is the best way for children to learn. Drill to Instill, or is that Kill? Or Math Discovery? Skills based or Think like a Mathematician? Memorize Facts or Calculator Dependence? Does it really matter how children learn to do math – as long as they learn? In this workshop, we will explore the two main theories on elementary math education and examine curricula and non-curricula options for building a strong foundation in the early years.
