Choosing math curriculum has got to be one of the hardest parts of homeschooling. Okay, actually doing math lessons every day is probably harder! But it's difficult to keep from thinking that if we only had a better/different/new curriculum all our math woes would be gone. Everyone would understand and complete their lessons with minimal effort and drama. In reality, the best math curriculum is … [Read more...] about Making Math Work with Miquon

Math Mammoth – A Review
Hi everyone, This is our fifth year homeschooling our children. We are a homeschooling family in Indonesia. Our first son was pulled out of school when he was in middle the 4th grade and the second son was in the middle of the 3rd grade. I felt that the national curriculum didn't work well for our children at that time. The next step was finding affordable curriculum. We would spend too much on … [Read more...] about Math Mammoth – A Review
Learn Math Fast Review
Let me tell you about an answer to a prayer. Just when my high schooler started really struggling with Algebra, I heard about Learn Math Fast. Yay! We have been using Learn Math Fast for a back-to-basics, refresher type learning. Well, maybe it is a 'finally learning it for real way'. Either way, it is always, always good to learn a concept in a different way. Maybe you are looking for something … [Read more...] about Learn Math Fast Review
Educating the Teacher: Using John Saxon’s Math Books – a Review
For our early years of math we love Christian Light Math. However, Christian Light Math is revising all of their middle and high school math programs and since math is not my strong suit I didn't want to struggle through the revisions. Though I am sure they will be great just like their elementary level. So after a lot of research and a couple of false starts we switched to the homeschoolers main … [Read more...] about Educating the Teacher: Using John Saxon’s Math Books – a Review
Life of Fred Elementary Math Review
Life of Fred Elementary Math Review One of the treasures we have found for our homeschool is the Life of Fred Elementary Math Series.

MathScore and EduFighter Review
Although we have had the opportunity to use other math drill programs since we first used MathScore, it still stands out. As I wrote in an earlier review, MathScore is a drill program that’s all about math, instead of being mathematical entertainment. Entertainment is fine in its place, but a good, solid math drill program that goes from 1+1=2 right up to quadratic equations is worth … [Read more...] about MathScore and EduFighter Review

Playing Math with Equate
Practicing Math with Equate Equate plays like the crossword game we all know and love (Scrabble). You can build equations up and down and across. Unlike a word game though, an equation reads both ways so you can often add on to someone's equation with the ever so helpful equals sign. Other facts about practicing math with Equate: There are three tile sets (be sure not to mix them!): … [Read more...] about Playing Math with Equate
Mega-Fun Card Game Math
The greatest math gift we can give our children in their formative years is the mastery of math facts. Are your children able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide quickly and successfully? Are your older children familiar with order of operations? Flashcards are a great way to drill math facts and test for mastery. Facts practice tests are also wonderful. Isn't it great, however, … [Read more...] about Mega-Fun Card Game Math
Review Math On DVD Calculus
Last winter I reviewed Math on DVD Pre-Calculus by Steven Gottlieb. Since then my son has been learning calculus, and it has not been easy. However, his frustrating experience has often been soothed by a session with Math on DVD Calculus 1. As a physicist I’ve worked with calculus for many years, but I do not remember much of it after almost two decades as a stay-at-home mom. And, while it … [Read more...] about Review Math On DVD Calculus
A Collection Of Math Lessons Review
When my twelve-year-old was seven, math became a chore for him and thus it became a chore for me. When the mere mention of math time caused panic and fear in both of us, I decided we needed to change our routine up. At that point I’d been doing a lot of research and running from something dubbed in the homeschool community as Living Math. In short, we chucked our math curriculum out the window … [Read more...] about A Collection Of Math Lessons Review
