Math
has never been a favorite subject of mine and it happens that it is not
one of my daughter's greatest enjoyments either. However, I fear
that a lot of that has to do with my own frustration with the
subject. Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't have any woes with
math until about algebra in eighth grade and then I really didn't grasp
the formula memorization/implementation that made it all work.
That led to further struggles through Physics my graduating year.
I mean, because I was so hard on myself I tried very, very hard to
always do my best. Actually, I think I tried so hard that I often
did better than I gave myself the credit of capability but it was SO
hard and required a lot of discipline.
So,
I have been trying to discern whether math is a subject God would have
me...let's say...outsource. I am ready to throw my hands up and
have her tutored or attend a school for that subject...and band and
choir when she is old enough. However, I believe my main reason
for these insecurities is that I don't want Shayla to be a math-a-phobe
when she grows up. Has anyone faced this trial with their own
children and did you happen to find some really "fun" ways to teach
such a subject...for those of us who claim a rightie kind of brain?
