I found that I had a lot of items I wanted to keep but wasn't really using. I put them in self storage for a while and then got them back when I had space for them again.

I bought a job lot of vintage spoons from ebay and never even thought about the hardness..... a few of them were sooooo hard that there was no way I could stamp them the ones I photographed were the best of the best, not really sure what metal they were sorry!

I think the book you mean is 'Mathematics Explained for primary teachers, 4th Edition by Derek Haylock'. It isn't a book to read through as such, but rather dip in and out of for you to understand what you are teaching and how/what to say to your daughter. It's quite expensive but well worth it! I've decided what my maths approach will be and there is a post in the pipeline with more resources and information in it so hopefully won't be too long before I get it out!! With my littlest still a toddler, my blogging time is a tad sporadic!!

Would love to know how you develop on Living Maths as it is a subject I find hard to get to grips with in how to present to my daughter. I notice in a previous post you mentioned a book on maths that you had said you had been glad you had read as it showed you how children learn maths - if you know the one I mean can you let me know which one it is please so I can research it. Thanks again NatalieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727462786661852135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384058020666554957.post-478170377229657422013-05-03T14:50:22.169+01:002013-05-03T14:50:22.169+01:00Thanks for the link.

It's a balance of child-led to parent-led for us but I see it as that I know the breadth of information available and how to access it, so if our children are interested in fossils for example, I know that there are books, websites, museums, experiments, a science basis behind it, paleontologists stories to learn about etc, so giving them a broad view of the topic.... I pinch bits from here and there to put together to work for us, kind of an eclectic mix really! I agree about the pressure to complete things and never having time to leave the house if you 'did it all' lol - so important that they have time to be children too!

I agree that bought-in curricula don't always fit a HE family's needs. <br /><br /><br />We've become less child-led and more parent-guided in our HE over the past couple of years and I've been investigating what's out there that will save me time on organisation. But, alas, there's no magic fix!<br /><br /><br />We are using far more bought-in resources to save me time on researching and putting together sessions with the kids, but I do like to draw up our own (loose) plans and themes. Sometimes we use downloadable courses that are out there, or use a historical fiction series to give us a basic outline, but mostly we just work it out ourselves around the resources we already have or can get hold of cheaply. <br /><br /><br />I think it's great to make your own scheme. There's always quite a bit of pressure to 'keep up' if you use someone else's plan. Tbh if we used some of the ones that are out there I don't think we'd ever have time to eat, let alone get out of the house!
