Math

Math could be the most dreaded subject in homeschool circles.  It seems so systematic, precise, and in need of a guide.  My mind flounders between wanting to just unschool and discover math naturally to desiring a guide with a daily math activity and lesson.  I figure I can't be the only one with this problem and with kids who get bored to tears with worksheets and structured daily math. So I thought I would share some of my approaches.  

For today I want to share that any daily living math happening around our home, I involve our kids.  This includes typical things like baking, gardening, and cooking.  But we have some extensive hobbies so the kids work at sighting-in their bows, archery targets, sewing, knitting, quilting, fly-tying, football, baseball, hunting...
Anytime a mathematical obstacle presents itself, we work together to solve it or I hand it off to them to work on. This creates a mathematically minded person who is a natural problem solver.
