Math Curriculum - Continued

The other most favorite math curriculum I recommend is
Teaching Textbooks.  Teaching Textbooks are a breath of fresh air to parents and children alike.
This curriculum is perfect for math lovers and parents with little or no math skills themselves.
I get excited about this math because on a “crazy” day, your kids can pop in their math CD and do their schoolwork without Mom!
This is the bombdiggittybomb of home school math J

Every grade level (starting with 3rd) has a workbook, answer book and a CD that is available.  The book and the CD contain the same information and the CD can be used as a stand alone math program if your child prefers. 

A new concept is taught daily, it is practiced and then they review and work on perfecting previous concepts.  This system is very helpful in math mastery.

The cd’s offer animated hints to the student if the child chooses to accept it and if a problem is incorrect they can re-do the problem with or without help from the program.
Not only that, but the parents have automatic grading and can re-assign problems or even lessons without hassling!

There is a test on their website to determine which level to start your child on.

If you have two children on the same level math ,the cd’s work for more than one user.  
The work book can be used by itself or in conjunction with the cd’s. 
The book alone teaches an individual lesson daily and explains things in an easy to understand way, that doesn’t bog down the child's mind and send them off frustrated.
It is definitely college prep, going through calculus.
It can get a bit pricey the farther up the grades are, but, you can sell it over again at the end of the year and re-coup your money, or purchase it second hand. 
If I had to go back to my childhood days-this is the curriculum I would beg my parents for.

Happy Homeschooling!
