My kids *loved* playing games to help them learn their math facts. I made a fancy version of amath fact game we used to play. It’s free to download! This game takes less than 10 minutes to play (though perhaps more if your kids are like mine and beg to play again and again!!). To play this game, you need a die or a wooden cube with the numbers 1...

Counting (legs, candy, eyes, etc.!), graphing and...

by Liesl - Homeschool Den · Published March 1, 2017
Earlier this semester, my daughter started to learn about fractions. I shared the free fraction packet she started with. She’s been doing some problems in her math book, but I thought she would enjoy playing a board game with equivalent fractions. With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I made a game board in that theme. I also made a game board with spring birds, butterflies, and flowers (just to make...

Last week I made a couple of factoring math worksheets for my daughter. These worksheets are only suitable for kids who know all of their multiplication facts (otherwise it would be very frustrating and a bit over their heads). I needed to make a couple worksheets more because she had problems like this in her math book, but she found them quite challenging. In this worksheet, she has to find...

Do you believe education can be exciting, inspiring, and full of joy? We do too!
I love the quote by William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." It's about getting the kids involved, engaged, and fired up about learning (while juggling the rest of life too!)
A bit about me: I have my Master's from Brown University. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience. I was a high school teacher for many years both in the U.S. and internationally and also taught for the University of Maryland before leaving to homeschool my 3 wonderful kids.
