Math Achievement
Seth (age 16) just eats up math. His main interests seem to be math and geography; if we go to town he usually brings his atlas books along or his math. Last week Seth got to be involved in a math competition. All of the area schools send their top students to the competition. There were overall about 130 students that participated. Only 5 were homeschool students. Prior to the competition there is a research question posted on the Internet. It is not a math problem that you just give an answer to. You have to figure out the process that could be used to get the answer, if there is an answer. (I know I probably…

So, when I came across this idea of Marking it Down (sorry, I can’t get a direct link to the post) at A Place Called Home I knew it would be a hit at my house.

Recipe Books
My oldest son, has resigned been banned from meal preparation. All is not lost, however. I have two other sons, Zachary and Wesley, who are eager to get in there and prepare scrumptious offerings for their family. So, I have assigned Wesley to help in the mornings with breakfast preparations and Zachary is going to try and make supper one night a week. Each of the boys made their own Recipe Books using a 3-ring binder. They designed their own covers using a computer graphics program. Inside they will put recipes they have learned, or are learning to make. This is Zachary’s Book. I had him write out his recipe by hand. (This doubled for…
