Maths No Problem

If you have been looking for Singapore Math Workbooks in the UK, you will know they are not easy to get hold of.
In researching how to help her daughter in maths, Anne Hermanson found Singapore Math to be the most effective maths programme available to her. So she has set up Maths No Problem to […]

Visual Mnemonics

I mentioned in my Times Tables post that we had used visual mnemonics to learn some Italian words, and I thought I would expand on that in this post.
Mnemonic systems were developed by the Greeks (the name being derived from their worship of the Goddess of Memory, Mnemosyne). They discovered that memory worked best by […]

Lapbooks

Periodic Table Top Trumps

Audiobooks

As a home educating family, we listen to lots of audiobooks.  We sometimes rent these from the library, but often I download books I think the children will be interested in, and burn them to CD.  A great place to look (although the website leaves a lot to be desired!) is Audiobooks for Free.  The […]
