Fun with numbers!

If you're like me, the hairs on your neck probably stick up when you hear the word math. If you need me to be more clear: I don't like numbers, I don't like word problems or graphs or anything remotely related to math!

While I may be done with school, I will soon be reliving all that 'fun' stuff with my own children when they need help. Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't mind helping, I actually look forward to it. All subjects, any subjects, except math. I think I'll let my husband take over that one.

Luckily, there are a ton of online math programs out there nowadays. You can even find online flash cards to help drill your students on multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.

If you're currently struggling with a child who doesn't want to hear the word math, much less open their books and study or do math homework, try something different. It may all be just about researching all the different math programs available-- whether on the Internet or from a book or workbook. Do your own homework and find something that will complement your child's individual learning style.

Experiment with different programs and try to find those that have money back guarantees or trial periods before committing just to make sure you won't be throwing your money away.
