In this episode of Continuing Education, we’ll explore why math helps—charts, reference guides, posters, and cheat sheets—are a powerful tool in your homeschool. Gone are the days when memorizing formulas was the gold standard. In today’s world of instant access to information and customizable learning, what matters most is understanding, not just recall.

You’ll learn:

* Why memorization isn’t the goal anymore (and what to focus on instead)

* How math helps support confidence, independence, and critical thinking

* Real-world examples of how using information leads to lasting memory

* Practical, low-stress ways to integrate math helps into your homeschool routine

* Favorite resources and tools you can start using today (including some book recommendations!)

Whether you’re homeschooling a neurodivergent learner, a math-loving kid, or someone who struggles with formulas and steps, this episode will encourage you to ditch the guilt and lean into the power of scaffolding. Learning isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about knowing where to find them and how to use them.
