Look at that smile. I can't imagine a smile so big and bright while doing math, but as you can plainly see she is a happy camper.Why does she have to enjoy math? Why does she choose to do well at something I've loathed most my life? Why does she understand multiplication, fractions and other math-related junk that sometimes I can't wrap my small mind around? Why, oh why couldn't she just be a book nerd like me? That I can grasp, but this math stuff...
Positive side to this is that due to homeschooling her, I am learning and seeing math in a whole new light. Even though that light is dim and hovers around a 2nd grade level, it's there! So here's hoping that this crazy journey will continue to benefit the both of us.

I could never do math until I began homeschooling.
Math? Hmm. Yes, math. What's math? Yep, I'm good with the addition and subtraction and even good ole fractions and of course a little geometry, which is great for building things, like sets; but, give me complex equations requiring something more than I can already do in my head and that's when I say: "find me an actuarial scientist!" Weeee.
Glad I'm not the only math-phobic mom with mathematically minded kids! :)
