Home Schooling Your Child In Math ?
If you enjoyed maths at school – or since leaving school – you will probably already use mathematical language comfortably with your children and find that they understand basic concepts such as the counting numbers and simple fractions at a young age. Unfortunately, a large section of the population found school maths so confusing – or even distressing – that they avoid anything remotely mathematical. Fear of maths can put parents off the whole idea of home education. Yet parents who know little about history or geography don’t find this off-putting, as they usually expect to learn from books as they go along. Parents who are unmusical, or don’t know any foreign languages have few worries about educating their children themselves. But fear of maths is somehow over-riding, and becomes almost irrational.

So whether or not you’re considering home education for your children, it’s worth re-thinking your whole attitude to maths.
