Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the experiences of two parents who have chosen to
homeschool their children in mathematics despite having difficulties with mathematics at
school themselves. It describes the strategies these two parents used to overcome their lack
of content knowledge and/or mathematics anxiety and are illustrative examples of how
these deficits can be overcome with sufficient motivation.
