Our homeschool is going great. Can't believe it's Feb already. We're having lovely weather in our neck of the woods. Just wanted to share an idea we had. It seems to be working out great. It's something we've actually stuck with since the beginning of this school term.
My daughter's is studying Algebra, but I wanted to go back over all the other math concepts too.
We didn't want it to take a lot of time, nor to have problems to do. SO... long story short she is writing an instructional math book in her own words! She's using a spiral notebook. She writes a little in it each day.
I used the table of contents in some of her previous Math books to come up with the concepts I wanted her to cover. Everyday she looks at examples online, or reads over the instructions in her text book. She then writes and/or draws about that concept in her own words, minus the math terms.
Not only does she get a review, she's sharpening her understanding of it too.

Hi Ruzana, Thanks for the comment. My daughter does make friends easily and with any age. We have 2 different homeschool groups in our area. They have lots of activities including prom and graduations. Plus there's church and lots of homeschooling cousins. :) She also plans to attend college when she graduates.
