My eldest daughter loves playing with numbers, so I've collected a few resources along the way. (At her first ever required homeschool test last year, she ranked two grade levels ahead in math skills.) Anyway, here are some fun math learning resources
- Unschooling Math
- Online games about money, currency, financial literacy
- More online money games
- Online math games for kids
- Money history games and websites
- Life of Fred math thru story
- LEGOs
That's mostly how my daughter learns. She'll ask a question, seemingly out of the blue, and I'll either know how to explain or I figure it out or ask my husband. She also likes to challenge herself with math puzzles and online games just for fun and the excitement of understanding a new concept and expanding possibilities for new uses.
I talked more about my daughter's very self-motivated math and other learning in the eBook: Unschooling Wins the Race.
Thanks for the resources above. We unschool too, and my daughter seems to have a real aptitude for number and playing with them. So I would like to encourage her in that route and the resources listed above look like some great choices to do so with. She also is almost 7.5 and reading just a bit...I am fine wit that, but boy am I getting comments lately. I suspect she is just so busy with numbers right now, she is not interested in advancing on her reading as of yet. People just do not get it.
ReplyDeleteShe can add, subtract, multiply and divide all in her head, on her fingers or the abacus like gang busters. Her brother ah, not so much...But, he is my avid and very advanced reader. He wants to be a zoologist with a specialty in frogs and toads and my daughter wants to be an interior designer & photographer. So there you go....
Thanks again for the great post!
