Mathematics For Everyday Learning: Real World Math For Learners of All Ages
We believe it’s important to make real-world math accessible for kids of all ages. That’s why we’ve created a brand new unit study designed to support this hands-on learning approach to math in your homeschool.
This new math unit study focuses on learning through everyday activities. Math games, books about math, engaging math learning videos, and more will encourage your kids by showing them that math can be fun.
Math in Everyday Life is divided into three parts: our favorite math resources, real-world practice ideas, and interest-based math projects. Our favorite math resources include books, games, and videos for all ages. You’ll get game, video, and book suggestions for everything from addition to fractions to geometry.
Then, explore hands-on practical math practice in everyday life with fun project ideas for kids from preschool to high school. Enjoy baking in the kitchen to learn about fractions, sorting socks for pattern practice, and budgeting activities for teaching financial literacy.
Learning Math Through Everyday Activities
Integrating math concepts into daily life allows us to learn math as we complete everyday activities. This strategy for everyday math skills practice keeps kids engaged and teaches them that math is a real part of our everyday lives.
For example, helping to make dinner is a practical way for kids to practice measuring, multiplying, and working with fractions without a boring worksheet. In the grocery store, we can teach kids about budgets, taxes, addition, and subtraction. Family game night can become an opportunity to learn about probability, strategy, and statistics. Cleaning your room can even help kids practice spatial awareness and study geometry.
Learning math through everyday activities shows kids that math applies to real life, helping them to see the value in mastering math concepts outside the classroom. It’s also perfect for interest-led learners. Real-world math projects and activities make it easy to cater to your child’s interests, increasing engagement and retention.
