Math: Preventing and Filling in the Gaps
Do you know the pitfalls that can happen if your child has gaps in their math education? Do you know how to anticipate and avoid those pitfalls, diagnose them and deal with them if they occur? Do you need some new ideas for helping your child to "get it" or are you looking for teaching tips and suggestions to make your teaching time more productive?
Anne Cole with BrainTrain will be discussing all of this and more at our November meeting. Her tips and suggestions are critical for anyone teaching math to elementary or middle school students and will help those with high schoolers to identify and fill in possible gaps in their math training that can cause major issues once you get to upper-level algebra. This is one of the most informative talks I have ever heard in 20 years of homeschooling. You will leave with handouts of specific resource lists as well as practical ideas that you will be able to immediately incorporate in your home school.
Anne has traveled around the world conducting seminars for teachers helping them design curriculum that suits the child as well as assisting with curriculum choices and decisions for special needs children. She is the founder of BrainTrain, Inc.
We look forward to seeing you there,
Scott and Lori Newmann, Presidents

Some of the forms on this website need Acrobat Reader to view, download, and print out. Click on the link to download it free.
You will also see as you click around that we are not a group that prefers isolation to community. In fact, we are just the opposite. This organization was founded over thirty years ago and has grown to provide services for most aspects of the home school experience.
WHO ARE WE?
In addition to fellowship and mutual support our association provides a Scholastic Cooperative as an enhancement to individual parental teachings. We also have monthly meetings at which outside speakers give practical advice to our member families. There are many more avenues by which this organization is of service to our families; curriculum advice, group field trips, a monthly newsletter, music training, honor societies, teen activities, even our own baseball team.
There is quite a bit more information available on this site’s private pages but they can only be accessed by Association members. However, visitors can attend our Association meetings since they are all open to the public and we encourage you to do so.
As you will see, we at DasCHE are parents who have decided to educate our children at home as opposed to sending them off to the care of state-sponsored educators and administrators. In particular, we have decided to place Christian principals as the bedrock of our mission and that mission is bringing up our children in a way that is pleasing to God.
