10 Days of Science with Math

Heart of the Matter is hosting another round of their 10 Days Blog Hop that we did last February. This time they let us choose our own topics and I didn't hesitate to announce I'd be doing a series on using math with science. Oh no! Some of you are undoubtedly saying, but I'm not a science person! So, on day one of Science with Math I'm going to help those of you who are worried that this is not a good topic for you. It's ok if you are not a science person, you can do it! Here are a few tips:

•It’s ok to sit down and be a problem solver WITH your kids.

•Be a resource in HOW to find out something you don’t know.

•Model for them good problem solving behavior.

•Reach out to others who can help you move to the next step.

  

Present Your Kids with a Problem and Some Materials to rise to the Challenge

 

•Gives ownership to your kids

•Allows you to be the facilitator rather than always running everything (which is a great way to disguise that you don't know everything! Facilitating doesn't mean you have to be the expert on the topic. It means helping your students find the answers.)

•Can be related to their current studies- or not.

        Once you realize you can still do great science even if you aren't super confident, it's easy to start using science to apply math. Over the next 10 Days, I'll be sharing some more advice on how to do science easily in your homeschool along with some specific lessons on using math in your science lessons. I hope you'll stop in each day and join me.(please pardon the rough formatting today!)
