I started homeschooling my daughter on April 2007. She was 2 years and 3 months old.Homeschooling is not a very well known thing in Malaysia, the country that I live in. Lots of friends asked me what and how I do it.
I choose to share my journey here. Not because Im an expert in any of this. Instead I hope all the ups and downs in my journey will help you in yours.

Tally marks, pictogram and charts Part I
When I did research on the things that Den need to learn before Grade 1, I realized nowadays kids actually learn Tally Marks, Pictogram and Bar Graphs in K...at least according to US and SG syllabus they do, not sure about MLY.
I think that is so fun to do. So right away, I taught Den about Tally Marks (...I only learned this in Secondary School...in Drama club...when we counted votes...). After that I let her counted the color of cars on the road on our way to SG immigration. This is the result:
After that I ask her to count it to the nearest tens (the number in ( )). Then I help her drew up a bar graph:
I should have taught her pictogram before bar graph but I totally forgotten. I intend to continue to let her work on a few assignment on these few areas. While researching online, I found this supper cool site for making Bar Graphs, Check it out: -
