Math curriculum abound, yet it can be quite difficult for parents to find just the right Math curriculum that works for their child(ren).

A + Interactive Math (by A+TutorSoft Inc) is an online Math Curriculum that offers you a full Math Curriculum for grade 1 to Algebra 1. It offers an array of  Math instruction packages, two of the main ones being their Family Math Package,  which gives you access to all levels, and their Adaptive Math Curriculum Online , which comprises a Placement Test followed by individualized Lessons Plans based on the test.

CTCMath - TOS Review

Math is one of those school subjects, that we want to make sure our children master. Some of us homeschooler, are either comfortable teaching it, some others not so much. There are lots of Math curricula out there, but CTCMath has been, for the last 3 years or so, a favorite at our house. CTCMath offers you a complete online Math curriculum geared towards kids K-12. We received a full year subscription to their  CTCMath Homeschool Membership . As an online program, you need a computer, an internet connection and a log in to use CTCMath.

LearnBop - TOS Review

As I mentioned before on this blog, Homeschool curricula abound. One can become very overwhelmed as the plethora of material that are out there for you to chose from. Math is not immune to this abundance of resources, especially online products. Today I am here to talk to you about one of these: LearnBop . When it first came up for review I knew nothing about it. So I had to customize myself to this program. LearnBop is an online Math curriculum that offers a grade 3-12 program called  LearnBop for Families . They offer two types of subscriptions, one for 1 student and one for multiple students up to 4. We got the 2-4 student subscription. I decided to use LearnBop wih both my children (grade 6 and 7). First I had them take the suggested test (called warm up) corresponding to their grade that is supposed to assess where they are at and what learning gaps they need to fix, or as they would refer to it, what building blocks they need to understand before they dive into t...

Math and Logic - Our Steady Path

We are at week 2 of the 2016 Virtual Curriculum Fair hosted by  Kristen  over at  Sunrise to Sunset , Chareen @ Every Bed and Roses  and  Laura  over at  Day by Day in our World .  This week we are talking about Math and Logic. These subjects are very important in one's educational development. Math and Logic are used in almost every aspects of our lives, so giving our kids a good grasp of these subjects is a must, if we want to prepare them for life as best as we can. In the younger grades, we used curriculum such as Alpha and Omega and Singapore Math , which I will definitely recommend. But then around grade 3/4 I stumbled upon Math on the Level which allowed me to invest in one curriculum once for up to grade 8. The idea pleased me as we are on a very tight budget here. So I plunged and that is what we used up until the last couple of years. Even though I do not used it exclusively now, I do have them as a reference. If you want to r...
