Home-Ed Maths

February 24, 2010 by Susan

Question: If you take one home educating family of 3 children and 2 adults home many home educating children can you expect to pass through the house in the course of a busy Wednesday.

Answer: Lots

Here goes

5 – 1 =4 (we start with Ruth at a friends having had a sleepover)

4-1 = 3 (I go to my numeracy course – luckily it’s only equivalent fractions there not algebraic fractions)

3+3 =6 (three Ds arrive)

6-3=3 (2 Ds and a Gibson go to English workshop – 1 Gibson works at home 1 D and a Gibson play card games)

3+1-1 =3 (I arrive home from work and Martin leaves for a meeting passing the keys like a baton in a relay race)

3+3 = 6 (Ruth and a D and a H arrive here for felting – After Ruth has TIDIED HER ROOM!!!! Rebekah has gone to Ryde for a singing lesson and to deliver Beacons with another D)

I am now expecting the following to happen

6+1= 7 (Martin arrives home)

7+1=8 (a H Mum arrives to pick up the H)

8-2= 6 (Hs leave)

6-1 = 5 (a D leaves)

5+3= 8 (an O, B and Gibson arrive – it’s ECDL night)

8+1=9 (a D dad arrives)

9-2=7 (all Ds are now gone)

7-1=6 (this is the end point for the night – B has gone and we have gained one O for the night)

Phew!

And people worry about socialisation!
