Making Math Fun with Miss Heidi
As a homeschool math teacher, for many years I have been encouraging kids to find ways to love math. I grew up loving it and wanting everyone else to! I can honestly say it was probably because the math we used gradually taught me new concepts in a fun and easy to understand way. The little sections on some lessons in third grade Saxon math that let me correct a possible student’s work were easily my favorite part. Yes, I had to do the work to see if the right answers were written, but it made me excited! Watching and then helping my mom grade our math lessons showed me I was a natural teacher.
