Math homeschooling equipments...

Just like a store we have a soft opening. I started to introduce him on what we will be doing once we started homeschooling. He loves math. Before anything else, he wants to start with math. We can never move to reading & writing not until he gets enough of his math.

This is what we use...


Plastic wheels from his toys

And a basket where we could put our plastic wheels.

What we would do is place a few pieces inside, add another few, and shake it.

For example we put 4 blue pastic wheels add 5 more yellow plastic wheels shake it and count it again. It's like teaching him to add in a very visual way.

Now we do addition, subtraction and problem solving.

In problem solving, he says "There are 3 plastic wheels inside the basket, if jazer takes away 2 plastic wheels, How many plastic wheels are left?" Then he will answer his own question "1 plastic wheel!"

I never knew I'll be so fulfilled like this. It makes me feel proud to be not just a stay at home mom but a stay at homeschooling mom!

Note: Homeschooling materials doesn't need to be expensive. You just need your imagination.
