This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own.

As you all know, I am an English and Language Arts Teacher certified to teach elementary school (EC) through 6th grade, and I homeschooled my older children for years. So, is math my strong suit? Not in the least. Therefore, I was always looking for fun ways to get my children and students to learn and love math. My second oldest son, Mackenzie, is now in college as a marketing major, and he loves math and numbers.

How did I do it? With a little creativity and not being afraid to take on topics that I may not have been comfortable teaching. I would look for free math printables online and homeschooling resources that included videos and workbooks for my kids to use. However, there was always an aspect of lesson prep to providing my children with the information I was teaching.

There are many resources available on the internet that provide a good math education. Through the years, I have used several, and I have even shared some fun math printables with my subscribers.

Children Aren’t Taught, They Learn

One program that I have found to be quite good at providing children from ages 3 to 16 with a truly good understanding of math is the ShillerLearning Program. ShillerLearning’s philosophy on education is very simple – children aren’t taught: they learn. It is ShillerLearning’s goal to help children reach their fullest potential by providing the best learning tools available.

ShillerLearning, founded by Larry Shiller and a member of the Rising Stars Foundation, provides a Montessori-based curriculum to provide a high-quality and effective Montessori education. With the ShillerLearning program, parents do not have to purchase expensive curriculums or worry about lesson preparation. They just have to provide a comfortable and fun learning environment. Shiller Learning does the rest with scripted lessons and multi-sensory resources!

My brother and I love your math! Thank you for making math so much fun. (Cooper, 9 years old)

The program includes lessons, math songs, worksheets, and sets of unique ShillerLearning fraction circles.

Other common resources and manipulatives that I suggest to facilitate the lessons include: graph paper, whiteboard and dry erase markers, fraction cubes, dominoes, and plastic coins.

The book takes serious treatment of this critical subject, and it contains lessons on beginner topics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division of fractions; common denominators; dividing wholes into parts; and converting fractions to decimals. It also provides advanced lessons on fraction families, fractions in geometry, inverse numbers, money and fractions, and liquid measure fractions.

The lesson books even include diagnostic tests and review tests to determine at what level your students are working. ShillerLearning provides it all – the full value of Montessori education at a reasonable price that is good for the whole family. ShillerLearning has received the Homeschooling Parent’s Seal of Approval.
