I struggled with Maths at school and helping my Grade 3 with homework is often a challenge. "My teacher doesn't do it like that", is the usual response. I remember my dad trying to help me with my maths homework when I was growing up. He had a firm grasp of what was required and tried to explain but it never made sense and I remember saying exactly the same thing........ My teacher doesn't do it like that. In the end I just got lost and felt stupid. 

My daughter loves Maths and I want to nurture this passion without poisoning her with my own 'maths-baggage'.

This book is awesome and really helpful. Every parent and teacher should have one!!!   

Some of this weeks work. Illies for school text book.
