98: Unschool Maths and Uncomfortable Ideas

This week, I'm talking about:

• uncomfortable ideas, the ones we think we'll never consider
• how we sometimes deceive ourselves because we can't face the truth
• our unschool maths story

 

I discuss the questions:

• If our kids don't have formal maths notes to show, what can we put in our homeschool records books?
• Is it okay to strew maths like we would science or history?
• Is there a problem with some maths games?
• Is there a problem with real life maths resources?
• Can we call ourselves unschoolers if we don't unschool maths?

 

I also talk more about:

• those times when life becomes overwhelming
• how we can help each other when someone isn't coping
• empathy and misbehaviour
• our weight loss and fitness adventure
