It’s hard to get Nerdlet back on track when he’s using online games, which is the majority of EP’s online math program, so this method works better for us. Though it’s designed to be used with the online program we’ve opted to use it as a standalone and supplement with the printable games and activities in this post.
I knew that our son would need a very no-nonsense approach to math that would be easy to supplement with hands-on activities and games, so I chose Easy Peasy Homeschool’s 1 st grade math workbook. I did not want to go down the road to boredom again if I could help it. It stayed that way until we got to Teaching Textbooks. She got really bored with all of the spiral review work and started to view math as just something to check off for the day. He is a very visual hands-on learner so I have to make sure there are plenty of activities to supplement any workbook learning that we do. So far math has been pretty informal but first grade will require a bit more structure. Our youngest son is entering first grade this year. This helps me keep my blog up and running without costing you a penny more! Click here to read my full disclosure policy.
