Math phobia is real! And the best way to combat it is to teach each student in the way he or she naturally learns. To accomplish this, we use a flexible combination of Saxon, Miquan, math manipulatives, and teacher-led instruction to balance left brain and right brain learning styles. Basically, we have fun with math!

Have you ever struggled to know what to write? Where or how to get started? Been bested by the terror of the blank page?

Here at TwoPlusTwo we start with IEW, Fix-it, and a blend of spelling options to create a custom, well-rounded base for our English Language Arts instruction. This base is then modified to each student’s needs and ability level, effectively both meeting them where they are and challenging them to grow.

Science should be fun and hands-on and, occasionally, even messy! We love to combine science with art, engineering, and real life experience.

This year we have focused on astronomy, animal science, and gardening. We are even designing and building a planter box!

History doesn’t have to be just dates and names of “old dead people.” It can be compelling, alive, and a lot of fun too!

We love to teach history through projects, art, reading, and games.

We take frequent “brain breaks” to workout, stretch, dance, and breathe. If the day is sunny, we often walk to a local park to play on the playground or kick a ball around. Sometimes we even bring Nimue and learn about dog training!
