I created my first presidential election lap book in 2016, making this my third iteration. I'm flattered by how many people asked if I would be updating it for 2024! With the first debate tomorrow, this definitely took me a little longer than planned, but it's ready! You can also get my ...

It's hard to believe I've been creating and sharing resources for so long, but I shared these presidential election cards for the first time EIGHT years ago! At the time, my oldest was only 6. The next time I do this, he will be able to vote! 🤯 The election cards themselves are the exact same as the ...
Division Practice Sheets

Recently, a reader reached out and asked if I had any division practice sheets similar to my multiplication practice sheets. I didn't, but that was easily remedied! Recently, I've been thinking about how to market and promote a new, non-education endeavour and it has left me feeling unmotivated. I ...

I have been wanting to share this fun way of practicing math for years! As many of you know, we have been using my Minimalist Math curriculum (available free here) all through elementary school.

A few months back (where does time go???), I shared some lowercase printing sheets I made for my dyslexic kiddo. I finally got around to finishing the uppercase sheets! This summer, I'm planning to make him some cursive sheets, so sign up for my email list if you want to be notified! Maybe they ...

For the past few years, I have been trying to go paperless. I converted my paper planner to a digital planner. I started using my phone to make digital versions of documents to save in Evernote. Everything from water bills to my kids' drawings. One of the big remaining sources of paper in my life is ...

A couple of my kiddos have a tendency to write their letters bottom to top. One of them, who is dyslexic, also sometimes writes his letters right to left. In the long run, do I think it's really going to matter if they never outgrow these habits? Not really. I think they'll be fine. However, I think ...
Relative Size of Pluto Activity

Over 7 years ago, one of the first homeschool posts I ever shared was this Relative Size of the Planets activity when my 7th grader was back in Kindergarten. (Seriously, where does time go?!) Back in the day, when I had one fewer child and a lot more free time, I did all the calculations so that I ...
6th Grade Minimalist Math Curriculum
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!
My approach to math in my homeschool is non-traditional, to say the least. I am not a fan of the standard drill-and-kill approach to mathematics. For this reason, I have made my own math curriculum since my oldest was in first grade. This 6th grade minimalist math curriculum was his 6th year using ...
First Grade Math Cards: Patterns & Sequences

It's important to me that my kids understand math. However, I am not a proponent of the "drill and kill" teaching philosophy. Maybe it is effective, but personally, I think it's unnecessary. That's why I created my own math curriculum for my kids. You can find my full First Grade Minimalist Math ...
