Math with Fred

This is Fred. He is making math much more fun here at Shadybrook Acres.

You can check out the Life of Fred math books here and learn fractions through calculus. I actually look forward to math every day.

Lisa said...: I found out that Fred doesn't do such a great job of teaching a subject that the student has never seen. I had my math professor friend review them and she said the same thing. They are fun though and if you don't mind doing the teaching, they probably work well. I'm going to continue using it as review for the son who is using the Key To series (which doesn't have any review) and as summer review for the son who is using MUS.; 6:40 AM

"May we remember as parents that we are His children, and that He is about the business of changing our hearts, of repairing our ruins, of remaking us. And though He has not finished with us, He has placed in our care His children. May He in His grace keep our hearts aflame for these children. May He give us minds like steel traps that we would never be distracted, that we would not forsake our calling. May He, the great Steward, make us faithful stewards of children, the most precious gifts, of which is the kingdom of God." RC Sproul, Jr.

About Me:

I've been married to my husband since January of 1987. In November of that year our first daughter arrived. Twenty-one years and seven children later, we are living a full life in rural Tennessee. Our children are ages 22, 21, 19, 17, 15, 13 and 9. We've homeschooled from the start ~ back when two little girls sat at their desks filling out preschool workbooks. Boy, have we learned a lot! Now we don't own any desks at all but instead we prefer to gather at the large kitchen table or in the living room with cozy blankets and hot tea to read many wonderful books. I really do love my life!
