Math for Homeschoolers April 3, 2013 By Bekki 2 Comments This content may contain affiliate links. Why do we teach math? Math is everywhere! Whether your child will grow up to be a mechanical engineer or a stay at home mom, kids need to learn their math facts. Basic Math Skills necessary for life: adding/subtracting multiplying/dividing measuring to the nearest 32nd of an inch, or millimeter (English and metrics) Basic geometry: shapes and solid figures (cone, sphere, prism) finding area and perimeter. My Opinion: God is a mathematician! Anything that is important to Him is important to us and therefore worthy to teach to our children.
Lisa Nelson says April 8, 2014 at 10:10 pm you are absolutely right. Anybody who argues with me about teaching math – I look at them like they have 4 heads. The kids need it – definitely. You know, you never ever know what you are going to do in life – or where life might take you. Math is absolutely – positively necessary. Reply
