Pre-algebra Homeschool Curriculum
Homeschoolers: question re. curriculum?
Does anyone know of a really good homeschool math course that does NOT teach the subject incrementally?
I don’t like Horizon and Saxon math because they do 3-4 problems of pre-algebra, 3-4 problems of fractions, a couple problems of geometry – all in one lesson. I am looking for a math course that will give her more repetition all at once as she is learning the concept, not spread out over a few months time.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
My daughter absolutely loves the Life of Fred series by Stanley Schmidt. It is especially designed for homeschoolers, and you can order the books and teacher guides direct from the publisher.
The books have a very small bit of religious content, but it’s not obtrusive. (For instance, there might be a word problem about how the church choir needs to divide 23 cookies among 7 members or something.)
The series runs from fractions to calculus. The material is entertaining, logical, and very useful. The website is very helpful in describing the books and how to use them.
