I have two that are now at a level above where I am and would like to have them either attend classes or have a tutor come in and work with both my high-schoolers. Does anyone have any suggestions or referrals.Denise C. replied:Self-directed, fully explained, incremental lessons - www.teachingtextbooks.com

Practical H. asked:Susan Klepper asked, "I will be homeschooling two middle-school children, and I need some good advice on what type of curriculum would work. "I would like to limit the amount of book work. I know they need some, but they learn more visually and with hands-on materials. "It doesn't have to be Christian-based. I would like to know of any computer programs or hands-on programs. What I don't want is a lot of copy work. "Suggestions?"
Annette L. replied:Hands on science with computer based lessons and quizzing: explorationeducation.com It also comes with everything for all the experiments except a low-temp hot glue gun. Computer based math and it keeps records for you and is great: teachingtextbooks.com
Jeanne A. replied:Teaching Textbooks may work for you for math. Computer based.
Jennifer S. replied:We use Teaching Textbooks for math and Virtual Home School Group for science (they offer math and other subjects as well). We are very happy with these, my kiddo's two favorite classes. This year we'll be using 2 computer based programs for electives, too (Switched-On Schoolhouse and Professor in a Box Accounting), but can't attest to them yet.

Leighann S. asked:Homeschool friends, can you recommend a good algebra curriculum?
Carla M. replied:Sandi Queen, my sister, I believe now sells "LIfe of Fred" I have their algerbra program(which I bought from her lol). My favorite math program is Teaching Textbooks http://www.teachingtextbooks.com/ because it is all online( disks-you can get the workbook too for $35 more) and it explains each step.
Carla M. replied:It really depends on your kid and what kind of learner they are. Saxon is more traditional ,like classroom math would be. Life of Fred is more story based /other subjects added with math/less repetitive problems and homework. Teaching Textbooks is about 20 problems a chapter, all done and graded online and the most "hands off" as the program explains all of the work, not you as the teacher.
Karen H. replied:Agree with Carla (although I am unfamiliar with Life of Fred). I used Saxon Math and Teaching Textbooks. I felt like Saxon was more thorough than TT and was more rigorous. But using TT avoided some frustration. Depends on your child..... No help, huh?

Practical H. asked:Jessica Roman Anderson asked, "I'm looking for a middle-school to high-school math curriculum that has lesson plans for the mom. I need something to help me teach the higher grades of math. I want the day's lesson laid out for me. I really need to be able to teach my son better. "Any recommendations? We've tried: Horizons, Spectrum, and Life of Fred, and we are currently using Christian Light. Thanks."
Angela A. replied:www.teachingtextbooks.com
Cindy M. replied:I am using Teaching Textbooks Math 7 with my 6 th grade daughter - we skipped some lessons at the beginning or I think it would be too much review. Also, I only assign some of the problems so it is not too repetitive for her. The program does the teaching, but all the lessons are in the workbook, so you can see what they're doing. Also, the program gives explanations for any problems they miss. And with the immediate feedback on their answers, they will know if they are doing something wrong before they do a whole set of problems wrong.
Vicky C. replied:Have you considered self-directed learning... More hand off for you, but learning for you child. teaching Textbooks, Math u See, using Khan Academy, and many others are along this line for older students.
Christie S. replied:Teaching textbooks
Daphne A. replied:For us Teaching textbooks was a joke. My daughter who was in Algebra 2 would score high on all the test Teaching textbooks gave her. But when she went in for her testing as mandated by the state she tested horribly! Same thing happened with my son on Algebra 1. We switched over to Saxon and had to backtrack, so in essence we lost a whole year of math. My younger kids we started them with Math u see and love it! Of course they are not into advance math yet so I can't say about the higher classes.
Noel S. replied:Teaching Textbooks hands down
Tara S. replied:I'm sure others have mentioned it but MathUSee is wonderful! We love it. I've heard great things about teaching textbooks but never used them. MathUSee tends to be a lot cheaper and it works well for us so I don't see the need to change!
Margaret R. replied:Teaching textbooks. I agree
Kelley G. replied:This is our first year with Teaching Textbooks and we LOVE it. This is the one subject my son does all by himself thank God. I with they had it for Grammar too.
Patricia G. replied:We are using Teaching Textbooks.
Veronica T. replied:Teaching Textbooks
Becky M. replied:Teaching Textbooks! Takes little steps so they (and u) can grasp it all. Lots of repetition of things learned, too, to ensure mastery
Kindra R. replied:Teaching Textbooks
Shan C. replied:Teaching textbooks was wonderful for us- it keeps up with EVERYTHING! An my son loved it- double win in our house!
Michelle A. replied:We are currently using Khan Academy. They've recently re-done their math and it is working well for us. As for easy and well laid out programs, I recommend Teaching Textbooks, but be sure to have your child take the placement test and put them where the test says, not necessarily at their grade level.
Jessica R. replied:Another vote for teaching textbooks.
Angela S. replied:Teaching Textbooks! We love it!
Jami L. replied:Teaching textbooks is awesome. You won't need plans. He (voice on dvds) is an excellent teacher
Rebekah K. replied:Teaching Textbooks!!! Can't recommend it highly enough! AMAZING!
Bobie M. replied:BJU if you want a good teachers book like the public schools use, Teaching Textbooks if you want your child to learn independently

Practical H. asked:Michelle Henderson asked, "I have a 6th-grade visual learner. "Can you recommend any good math curriculum? "I would like to find something online or computer-based, but math only. Any suggestions?"
Sheri H. replied:Teaching textbooks! Www.teachingtextbooks.com
Darlene V. replied:Teaching textbooks, math u see, and khan academy are all great for visual learners.
Kendra W. replied:Teaching Textbooks
Heather S. replied:Teaching Textbooks is working well for mine.
Kimberly G. replied:But as stated do the placement testing first! Its free. The reason teaching textbooks tend to be "behind" is because they spend more time teaching the actual concepts so they have it down. In the end they are NOT behind
Kim K. replied:Teaching Textbooks
Vanda H. replied:Teaching textbooks
Debbi H. replied:Teaching textbooks

Joy E. replied:I have a visual learner as well and for the last two years (4 th & 5 th grade) we used teaching textbooks, I personally love them but for him.. he's getting lost .. quickly! I'm changing to math u see. I've looked at a lot of you tube videos on math u see and for my son I feel its a better math curriculum. Its all about what he needs... look at some of the videos. ..
Stacey B. replied:Teaching textbooks
Janelle S. replied:We like teaching textbooks
Michelle N. replied:Teaching Textbooks! My visual learners love it!
Genette R. replied:Teaching Textbooks!!!!!
Genette R. replied:Khan Academy is funded by Gates...so filled with Common Core...if that matters to you. If you check out Teaching Textbooks do the placement testing. The levels are not necessarily grade levels. Just math levels. Many test into the level number higher than grade level and others need to go lower...all depends on the child's needs.
Kimberly G. replied:Teaching Textbooks!!!
Dominique P. replied:Beware of teaching textbooks, I found through personal experience as well as stories from other parents that the kids end up being behind grade level. We are using Khan this year and like it a lot !!
Ashlee B. replied:I definitely agree about teaching textbooks being behind. Wish I had went up a grade level. So we are just supplementing with Easy Peasy, which uses Khan Academy and is free and all set up for you. Don't know for sure what we will do for next year.
Abigail O. replied:Teaching textbooks or khan academy
Ally B. replied:Teaching textbooks
Joni J. replied:Teaching textbooks by FAR.
Vicky C. replied:After going through several other curricula, we have settled on Teaching Textbooks for my computer-loving visual learner. It's going very well this year, although I'm missing the teaching part of this (former college math prof).

Made ...See MoreSandy P. replied:Teaching Textbooks...Diane C. replied:Kendra Pollock Gammons, same here. We attempted Saxon with our child a few years back and it was a disaster. He has dyscalculia. I'm going to look into teaching textbooks.Stephanie W. replied:we love Teaching Textbooks!Jtk S. replied:We love teaching textbooks! It is spiral learning style, so the student continues to review the old material while they are being introduced to the new material. It takes them step by step through the problem, that way you know exactly what part they struggle with.RayandLinda C. replied:Teaching TextbooksJennifer F. replied:My daughter went through a correction program that was a godsend for our family. Jill Ham was the women who does the program. She recommended using teaching textbooks also. My daughter is flying through and retaining the information. She is 15 and had done almost 2 years of math in 6 months.Karen M. replied:I have dyscalculia and my kids are using Teaching Textbooks, and I follow along pretty well. I would recommend it to anyone!Roni E. replied:we adore teaching textbooks!!

Trina S. asked:Can anyone recommend a math tutor for grade 9?Dezell D. replied:www.teachingtextbooks.comDezell D. replied:No, but I can recommend a program called Teaching Textbooks. My homeschool kids use it for math, but I've known families of schooled kids using it too. There are placement tests on their website and you can demo complete lessons. It won't cost you nearly as much as a tutor either. Zane is in 8 th grade and using the pre-algebra level.
