Math is
Fun! by
Carolyn K. Hoagies' Nibbles and
Bits
- Some people cringe when they hear those words... Math is fun. Fun? Yes,
FUN! Math is all about numbers and patterns and graphs and statistics. It's
about fractals and computers and nature and ... life!
Our family's favorite parts of math are the fun and games...

For the Love of Math by
Adventures of Hahn
Academy
- Math does not need to be boring. There does not need to be a math
aversion. Math is a key part of the STEM (Science Technology Engineering
Mathematics) & STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics)
movement. In addition, many companies and universities are starting a new
movement to get a mathematics mindset and growth mindset going...

 Homeschool Math: 10
Ways to Keep it Fun! by Caitlin Fitzpatrick Curley,
My Little Poppies
- Nothing makes you reflect more on your own educational history than
suddenly and unexpectedly homeschooling a gifted child. And nothing makes
you more aware of your personal insecurities.
Me? I'm a reader. I love to write. I've always been fascinated by art and
history and music. And, while I didn't think of myself as a science person
when I was in public school, I adore the sciences now. But math?...

In
Praise of Math by Linda Wallin,
Living with Geniuses
- AS a young girl, I loved math. I was good in math as were all of my
family members. It wasn’t seen as something masculine or even special. It
was just a characteristic of our family. I did well in math until high
school. I took all of the math classes and got high grades in them, but the
math called for in Physics was too much for me. I couldn’t figure out which
formula to use in which situation. That was the end of my science classes.
In college, I took Calculus, but got sick and missed three weeks of classes.
My A dropped to a C, and I was place into Analytical Geometry. Since my
weakest skills are in visual-spatial orientation, I only got a C and changed
my major to German. Most of my life, I have regretted that decision...

Math and the Gifted Learner by
Gift-Ed Connections
- It may be the nature of the discipline or the way it is taught, but math
is one of those subjects where if a student is really good at it, it
generally gets noticed. So now what? In my years of coordinating gifted
programming, this is the area that has called for the most intervention and
while the answer can appear simplistic, that is not always the case. There
are several questions that we in our program to guide us through the process...

 How
to Keep Your Girl's Confidence in Math by
Planet Smarty Pants
- Have you heard the phrase that confidence is like a muscle: the more you
use it, the stronger it gets? So why are our girls losing confidence in
their math abilities as they move through school years and is there anything
we can do to help them believe in their math gifts and help them love math?...

interests in high school, college and in their careers? ...

 Reigniting
Math: Connections Over Corrections and the Embrace of Wonderment by
The Fissure
- This approach to Math, which I call "Connections Over Corrections" for
its ability to incite curiosity and deepen our appreciation of an
interconnected universe of beings, objects, and ideas, has a couple simple
premises...

Mathematics Education Should Include a Strong Foundation in Logic by
IMACS
- Logic is the systematic study of reasoned argument. Why study logic? For
students planning to take university-level math courses, which typically
involve reading and writing proofs, the benefits are evident. But even for
students heading in a different direction, developing strong logical
reasoning skills has benefits too.
Logic Supports Learning Mathematics...

5 Ways to Help Your Child Love Math More by Jen,
repurposed
genealogy
- I have been frustrated with math worksheets which appear to make
something simple way more complicated than it needed to be. I love art, but
I am skeptical that illustrating an equation will help my boys attend MIT
someday. Rather than reminiscing about how I learned math as a child, I've
attempted to understand and embrace the different methods my kids learn in
school. I have had to swallow my frustration, and restrain my eye rolling on
a few occasions.
Don't get me started about the parent letter telling us not to teach our
kids to borrow the one...

Math and Football by
The Common Mom
- Figuring out your child is gifted and may not think like other kids
doesn't hit you like a thunderbolt. At least it didn't for me. It was a
gradual process with little clues along the way. Many of them ignored or
just not recognized.
There was finding out she could read at age two. It was the daycare director
who told us about that. I just thought she had memorized all those Dora the
Explorer books but a trip to the library proved she could read much more
than just Dora. Same way with math. She knew all her numbers and could even
count in Spanish (thanks, Dora!) well before age two...

March Mathness Blog Hop by
Benjamin Leis, Running a Math
Club: My Experiences
- I imagine you have some interest in mathematics especially around your
children's individual progress. You're looking for interesting resources to
enrich at home. Perhaps you're worried about the school curriculum and are
considering after schooling etc. In many ways this was the position I found
myself in a few years ago. I'm deeply interested in math and wanted to pass
that on. So as my own children began entering school I started discovering
what resources existed in my backyard.
And in many ways what I found was that this is a golden age for mathematics
education and enrichment...

 Aliens,
Math and Jerky by
Institute for
Educational Advancement
- How are aliens related to math? The answer is: in every possible way!
From science fiction, to popular culture, to UFO organizations, and even a
famous jerky shop half way between Los Angeles and Las Vegas named Alien
Fresh Jerky, extraterrestrial life pervades our imagination. The question
is: if they are out there, where are they?
This is the foundation of the Fermi Paradox...
