Question submitted via text message -

I’m wondering if you have any episodes or blog posts about math after chocolate chips - my oldest is 8 and about to start grade 3. We have been using your little yellow book along with The 3 R’s as a guide for our math learning so far. Would love to hear about where you went from there with your kids, any particular curriculums that you found helpful. I know nothing will be a perfect fit, I’m just looking for something to use as a guide as we continue our one on one lessons. Math is not a natural or easy subject for me to teach.

soundbites:

• "Chocolate chips are just the yummy, tasty, manipulative."
• "I bought a math book and I just followed the appendix."

blog posts:

a few math posts (nota bene, there are many more, search chocolate chips, math, teaching math on my blog)

To find episodes where we cover math, go to the bottom of the show notes to "episodes by topic" - and under math there are episodes wherever we have talked math!
