Math-U-See K-12 Homeschool Math Curriculum
by Nadine Kerley
Proven, Hands-on Homeschool Math Curriculum
Our family has used Math-U-See homeschool math curriculum for several years now. We have used it for Kindergarten through High School. The curriculum comes with a DVD where a math teacher teaches the concept (to me or my children). He goes over the topic, then the Teacher's Manual has the instructions of that topic along with examples for you to use with your children. The student book is in two parts: the first three pages are to go over and reinforce what you have just learned. If you feel that the child gets it, don't make him continue doing all the pages (you can save those pages for a later review if it is needed). The second three pages are review of everything he has been learning. You do all of these pages. There is also a test book. Steve Demme, the author, encourages you to let the children teach it back to you as a means of showing mastery of the topic. You will also have manipulatives to help you see and build what the concept is, which is a great tool for visual learners. The manipulatives are not just for the earlier grades, there are also some available for fractions, decimals, and algebra. We are very pleased with this homeschool math curriculum; they really get it! Great review, Nadine; thanks for sharing, especially about the manipulatives for older grades. Many of us, I'm sure, equate manipulatives for younger grades only! Happy homeschooling, Heather:) Would you like to leave a comment, or write your own homeschool curriculum review?
