“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
James 1:2-4 (NIV)
If you are like me, you’ll understand why I picked this verse
for the topic of math! If you’re a “math whiz” like my handsome husband, than
consider yourself VERY blessed. Unfortunately, math seems to be one of those
subjects that students either LOVE or HATE!
Putting one’s feelings aside, though, math is a subject that
must be learned! After all, we use math in our everyday lives for just about
everything. Math is required for telling time, for cooking, for shopping, and
for so much more.
So, what can we do to help our children “persevere” through
the challenges of math? This week, we’ll be covering some great ideas to help
your children S-T-R-E-T-C-H their brains and G-R-O-W their math skills, whether
you are their teacher or helping them do their homework in the evenings. Hopefully
you’ll learn a few new tricks, and your children will find math a lot less
painful and a little more fun!
Now it’s your turn to chime in in the comments: Are you a “math
person” or not?!
