Homeschool Math Programs








Here is a brief description of some of the most popular homeschool math programs used by both South African homeschooling families and homeschoolers abroad.

There are numerous others, but we do not wish to overwhelm you with too many choices.




MATH-U-SEE




Math-U-See was written by an ex-high school Maths teacher and homeschooling dad, who saw the benefit of systematic review as well as the link between manipulatives and understanding maths. This programme combines the strengths of both in a system that incorporates all learning senses. It includes a student text, a teachers manual and teaching DVD's plus non-consumable manipulatives
The goal of Maths-U-See is that as a student learns how to do maths, he simultaneously understands the concepts of maths.

For further information visit the Maths-U-See website or contact the South African agents: Oikos Ministries

SAXON MATH

Saxon is a logical, well thought-out homeschool math program from K – highschool. The process used involves teaching a child a formula first, then drilling for accuracy and then for speed. The students progress slowly, going over the same area of study from different 'angles'. They make good use of the home to teach e.g. a child will learn fractions from sandwiches and apples, play shop and use family birthdays for graphing.

Saxon makes use of many manipulatives like tangrams, geoboards and cubes as well.

The Saxon homeschool math programs are available from Sonlight Curriculum




SINGAPORE MATH


Singapore Math is a very popular choice amongst home educators. Mental maths is used from the early grades and children are also exposed to fractions and geometry early on. Word problems force students to think and apply maths in all kinds of situations. To ensure you choose the right grade for your child, use an online placement test.

Singapore Math is also available from Sonlight Curriculum.




MODERN CURRICULUM PRESS


MCP is a good, thorough Maths programme for all grades from Kindergarten upwards. It uses drill, manipulatives, mental maths and self-correcting skills-building. There is a complete teacher’s manual for parents which is very user-friendly.

These homeschool maths programs are available from Christian Liberty Books.
