Home School Math

This year, my son is in 6th year and we will continue teaching at home. I'm getting ready for the new year now, but I do not know what math curriculum to go with. Last year was our first school year at home and it was not as organized as I wish there was. I used an old Bob Jones University grade 5 math book, but am not sure that all enjoyed their presentation. I'm not concerned about being a House Program Christian School, just that he did a good job. I am planning to use the Saxon math now because it passes through the secondary level.

Please help me and share your experiences here. Thank you

It really depends on his learning style. FWIW, my son driving Saxon Bonkers - and I hate teaching, too. We are both very visual and Saxon is not visually appealing at all. Others like it.

You can watch video text books or teaching (but they have no college math) it is a visual learner. My son is TT Algebra I and loves. They lecture from the CD-ROM, students work the problems, then can watch the CD-ROM solution to see if it is correct - or how to do properly if they failed. It is particularly useful for higher level math. In addition, it is very rare on the market HS'ing to see a work program to all problems * - more just to even or odd problems.

One thing about high levels of Saxon - they make more of an integrated approach, which does not work best for certain children.

Saxon is right, it does not much "fluff" that may be good or bad. If your student is concentrated and must be challenged is an excellent book. If your student has more trouble with math, I would suggest another book. The spirals Saxon book so that each lesson is about half of new problems and half of the previous chapters of books.

If your student has more trouble with math or you love to do projects I use another publication. Books that I used are all major publications and have not found one I dislike. Glencoe, McDougal Little. You can see what equipment is provided with each product. This is usually where I see a big difference.

I agree my mom used Bob Jones with us until high school and then switched to Saxon. It was the best it has been structured so that it is somewhat difficult to forget what you learned weeks you'll still be problems with many sets of problems later. Just stay away from Algebra 1 / 2 pound. It was very confusing and did not really help at all. I have found / after / I'm a graduate of the university is where things there that I learned in my major (college) stats class.

We used the mathematics of Paris since I started hs. My children love. http://www.singaporemath.com It has many additional GB with each chapter. What I like most is this is not only the memory you really learn the concepts.

I have not tried it but I do find it interesting http://www.mathusee.com

Hello, I'm 12 years old school house, just got a full scholarship to Ivy Leagues -
I used most math programs out there and highly recommend teaching manuals. They have grades 5-7 math level higher. If you have a computer, it will even grade all the papers and tests for you at levels 5-7, it's wonderful! Both my workbook 5th and 7th graders have used my high school grad and used at higher levels. Hope that helps, Sabrina W

Some people on here recommend Math U See, they have a website and a frequency.
