My boys enjoy math, and it comes easily to my oldest. I'm still trying to figure out how much hands-on versus simple explanations to offer. My oldest (who's 8) gets concepts quickly and seems annoyed by hands-on projects that seem to make things more complicated and take a lot of time. I thought my 2nd son (7) would enjoy that sort of thing more, but then he chose a Saxon workbook with NO visuals at all, just plain old problems to solve! Then again, he's only chosen to work on it three times in the last month. But he did 100 problems each time! Love your blog! :) .-= Amanda´s last blog ..<a href="http://crunchychristianmom.blogspot.com/2009/10/fall-farm-fun.html" rel="nofollow">Fall farm fun!</a> =-.
