Bonnie Landry, a Canadian homeschooling mother of seven, has written a series of books which aim to simplify homeschooling. These books are short, but packed with useful information. Each one can be read in an hour or two which is perfect for busy moms."Homeschooling, Simplified: Chocolate Chip Math" shows you how to teach math in just a few minutes a day to children from Kindergarten to Grade 3. Landry emphasizes that much of early math education happens in the course of everyday life, but some formal instruction is helpful. By using chocolate chips, or some other small manipulative, many basic math concepts can be taught without the use of a workbook. Using short lessons helps reduce the stress that so often accompanies math lessons, while chocolate chips have the added incentive: when the lessons are done, the chips can be eaten!

There is no fluff in this book - it's all practical and useful information and resources. The books in this series are readable in an afternoon and can be implemented the next day without hours of planning. This volume explains how to introduce math to the K-3 age group in a way that is fun and inspiring. This is another wonderful, simple, practical, straightforward book in the "Homeschooling, Simplified" series by Bonnie Landry.

A beautiful way to approach math in the early elementary years. Written in Bonnie's lovely "you can do this!" style.
