Wow, I've not heard of Math For Love before, but it looks great. We've been home schooling for just over a year and I'm finding it hard to engage my kids with maths, even though they love it when it's presented as a game or in a fun way rather than in a work sheet. Not surprising really... Just had a look at the Math For Love website and there are so many resources to explore. I'm hoping this will change things for me (and my kids)! Thank you.
Just to add, my older son loved a book called School of Numbers by Emily Hawkins. Really recommend it. Loads of really interesting mathematical ideas and concepts presented in an engaging and fun way. He got it when he was six or seven years old and really engaged with it. Hoping Math For Love will relight that flame again, because worksheets certainly aren't!
My children almost never do worksheets. I know they will eventually need to put pen to paper, but for now my priority is for them to be really, really comfortable with numbers and not to be turned off maths. Worksheets can come later. Have you tried the Wild Math Curriculum? It’s full of outdoor maths activities sorted by age group and I found lots of good ideas in it. I’ll definitely have a look at School of Numbers, thanks for the tip!
