Recently I was in in St. Louis, MO for the Great Homeschool Convention.  While there, I had a chance to spend time with long time friend and United States Navy Recruiter, Chief Sally Patton and her family. Having been friends with her and her husband for more than 20 years, it was an absolute treat to interview the Chief and get her insight for homeshoolers considering the armed services and in particular, the United States Navy.  Chief Patton has won national awards as a top recruiter.  Listen in as she shares what it takes to join, when and how to get in touch with a recruiter and the opportunities available for young people considering a career in the United States Navy.

Another fun math game Mr. D made up to play with your children that is a HUGE support for high school math and more.  When Mr. D tells his students “It’s Time to Play the Game”, they know it is the multiply add game which means they are about to factor a quadratic equation! Now you can play the game with having to deal with a quadratic equation! The multiply add game will help your children discover relationships between numbers and multiplication facts.  Having trouble remembering times tables?  This game can help.  Do you want to introduce the idea of negative numbers?  This game will help.  Do you want you children to be great at factoring when they get to Algebra I through Calculus?  This game is a MUST!  It’s quick, easy to play and completely fun!  You will be able to make up as many multiply add questions as you need and of course, Mr. D has practice for you too!

Have you ever watched a young person do a computation in their head. Ever notice they will look up?  They are tapping into the part of the brain that does computation.  So why is it then, when we teach subtraction or when students try to do it on their fingers, they count going down. No wonder it is so difficult! Join Mr. D this week to learn how to subtract by counting up and how to play the race to 100 game.  You may notice as an adult, you already use this method but can’t remember when you learned how and were not taught to do this when you were a child.  Now you can teach this method to your children and play the game anytime. Find out why Mr. D says subtraction means to find the distance between things and how this shows up again and again in high school math when it comes to finding the slope or using the distance formula. You will be able to request a free online video with extra practice too!
