Publisher Description: Parents are looking for ways to nurture a love of mathematics in their children, but many don't know where to begin. Kids are often alternately bored and confused by the way early math is presented to them, which leads to a lasting distaste for the subject. Magical Math is a solution to both problems, showing parents how to engage children in mathematical thinking through stories, activities, and games. It also educates parents in the big picture of what an excellent early math education should look like, providing ideas for applying the principles in everyday life. This approach builds thinking skills and leads to an organic but solid sense of math as a useful and beautiful endeavor. |
Contributor Bio(s): Georgia, Jennifer: - Jennifer Georgia has been loving math since a moment fifteen years ago when she rebelled against the "schoolish math" that she'd been using in her homeschool and embraced math as the fascinating creature that it is. Since that time her focus has been finding ways to spread a feast of inherently-appealing math before her children and many others so that they gain a holistic view of what math is. By profession Jennifer is a critical care nurse, but her career is motherhood. She and her husband Paul now have four homeschool graduates whose first day of "school" was in college, along with a kindergartener and three soon-to-be adopted foster children. She has tutored math and taught math in clubs, classes, and co-ops, has been the chairman of a national homeschool organization and has been a speaker at many homeschool conferences. The Georgias live in northern Virginia outside of Washington D.C. |
