When we started home schooling, I was rather surprised to find that math was fun to teach. It was never my strongest subject in school, but as an adult, I had gone back and taught myself more algebra, geometry and some trigonometry because it just seemed ignorant not to know these subjects.
With math, you do see incremental improvements day by day, so perhaps that encouraged me while working with the older kids. But with Samuel, I feel like I'm running through mud. It's not him! He's plenty bright enough and seems to have an analytical mind and a natural sense for numbers. But I have to kick myself to sit down and do math lessons with him. I have no idea why.
