Growing discontent with and concern about the public school system has pushed more to take a deep dive into homeschooling, and I've been very impressed.

If you stumble across my content, thank you in advance for sharing it with anyone who might enjoy it.

God bless!

THIS VIDEO
As an aide in a math class, I witnessed far too many 6th-grade students struggle to do rounding, and especially to round numbers in their head and add them together.

This is the second level in a series of activities to make rounding easy and intuitive.

Please visit my "novice rounding" and "experienced rounding" playlists.

GIVE IT A TRY
If you're interested in trying an activity, I'd be happy to send you a link. Just reach out via e-mail and comment on the video to give me a heads up.

I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions from homeschooling parents and homeschoolers themselves, especially those who are already in higher levels of math, but would be great reviewers of new materials. It would make an excellent addition to a homeschooler's college application and résumé.

If you haven't, please take a minute to read my full bio below, too.

Thanks!

FULL BIO
I'm a 33-year veteran language teacher, and a short stint as an aide in a 6th-grade language class just this fall ignited my passion for math and math education.

So think of this as a fresh look at math through the lens of a seasoned language teacher + artist + musician + life-long learner.

I've always created and used math activities in my language classes, not only to learn the numbers, but also to learn and practice lots of everyday vocabulary that can be used to talk about numbers in the target language: before, after, up, down, comes here, goes there, more, less, bigger, smaller, in order, out of order... the list is really endless.

This is not intended to be a math program, but quick supplemental activities that might help a concept really click in your student's mind. In my homeschool YouTube binge, I've seen a lot of curriculum switching. I hope I can help your current program work for you, and salvage your investment of money and time.

Pencil-to-paper practice, physical manipulatives, and books are important learning tools, and the potential of computer-based learning is usually squandered, overly stimulating, and ineffective. I hope my philosophy shines through in these activities and video instructions.

I aim for a streamlined, uncluttered interactive experience that makes the kiddos really think, think quickly, see math concepts with their eyes, and experience success. This is screen time designed by an educator who, for the most part, really dislikes screen time!
