This is not a story about homeschool, but it’s going to start with an example so stick with me please and thank you. Second grade math is hard. It’s especially hard when you look at a lot of numbers (i.e. triple digit addition and subtraction) and realize you have to do something with them. Sure, there are some people who can do all the math mentally in 1.3 seconds but no one (me included) in our homeschool is one of those people.
