Singapore Math in Pictures

We began using Singapore Math 10 years ago. My older two finished through Singapore 5B before moving to Art of Problem Solving Pre-Algebra. Last week my youngest child finished 5B and our Singapore days are done.

Critical Thinking Math Curriculum

Our first year homeschooling did not go well.  Math was pretty near a disaster.  I guess you could say it was the year my son learned to hate math. At the end our first year I discovered that my son learned best by thinking and applying concepts.  As a result,…

Teaching Math Backwards

Several years ago I made an observation and decided to go in a different direction with math instruction. Teaching math backwards seemed like a rather ludicrous thing to do. Math is by nature a sequential beast that requires order. Yet, I was starting to accept that not all children fit…

Stop the Common Core Math Madness!

  Everywhere, parents are abuzz with complaints about Common Core math.  Parents are astonished how teachers can be instructing their kids on a math method that complicates an easy problem. I’ve been flummoxed at the uproar.  I went to have a look at the common core standards.  I chose 2nd…

Math on Three Levels

A couple years into our homeschooling journey, I started doing math on three different levels.  Maybe some kids do well with doing math on one level, but my kids have needed a three-pronged approach to math especially during the elementary years. Lowest Level – Math Facts I’ve had my kids…

Math Lab with Zome Tools

This school year I splurged and purchased a Zome Tools kit.  We are probably a bit heavy on STEM in our household, but that is because my kids have dreams of STEM careers unless you count my youngest child’s desire to be a lumberjack when she grows up.  I suppose…

Art of Problem Solving Pre-Algebra

  Earlier this school year my son finished Singapore 5 and started Art of Problem Solving Pre-Algebra.This course takes a little different approach to mathematics.  It has you solving problems before teaching you how to do it.  The whole process of puzzling out the problems is designed to help you…

  • Welcome to Eclectic Homeschooling

    As eclectic homeschoolers we mix and match many different methods of homeschooling to give us a unique mix that works for us. We tend to go broad and deep with our subjects and use a schedule that makes every day different. This year I am homeschooling 2 high schoolers and a 6th grader.
