Fundamentals

This is Part 3 of a three-part series on the foundational skills of homeschooling. Part 1 explored how reading actually develops and what causes most reading struggles. Part 2 unpacked why writing is harder than it looks and how to build it one layer at a time. This final post focuses on math — the subject that generates the most anxiety in parents and children alike, and the one where the gap between how it’s typically taught and how it’s actually learned does the most damage.
