Over the years as a mother I have learned that educating my children is not something that is done just at school.  We do our best to continue to educate our children at home by challenging them everyday in their regular academics and other areas as well.  Our Libby has faced a few struggles in school over the years and is still on a bumpy path but it is not something she can control.  She struggles like I did in various areas but with math being her biggest struggle.  We have worked along with the teachers and school over the years (since the first grade to be exact) and have chosen to try an adaptive learning platform as she continues to move on through school.

When we first started combating the problem I took the time to Google and educate myself on various sites such as the U.S. Department of Education site which offered a wealth of knowledge on different programs, web sites etc. that we could use to help further educate her at home and help her along her path.

In addition to the online learning, we also purchased different computer games, educational board games including math bingo, plus we made multiple games at home and tried to turn most of our every day tasks with her at home into a mathematical equation.

Out of all of the tools we used to help her along the way she has always had better success when using those that we online based and I think that is because computers are such a huge part of her every day life at school.

She still struggles with her every day academics and math is still a challenge, but we are doing our best every day to help her get to where she needs to be in hopes that she will eventually reach the point in which she no longer needs that extra help or push.
