My daughter is very slow with mAth. She’s a 4th grader and we just finished third grade Saxon. I don’t feel it’s a fit for her. Do you have any suggestions for a curriculum that is great for those who are slow and don’t seem to understand the patterns in math?
Thanks!

Hello

I like to know what is the differences between Pearson and Art of problem-solving( AoPs). I used Singapore math for 6 years and I think to switch to something more advanced. As I researched, I figured out the SP is not a good fit for my kids. I appreciate your response and feedback.

I used Horizons math for my son last year in kindergarten. He learned a lot and it wasn’t to much work for him.

HI there, I will be 100% new to homeschooling. I will be having a 9th grader to be homeschooled. I have heard great things about the “teaching textbooks” math. But I am very lost on how to buy the proper math book for him? How do I do that?

In reply to Connie. I have used Primary Mathematics Singapore Math for kindergarten and first grade. While I like the abstract concepts they teach, I find the problems are too simplified and require me to purchase supplemental books. I am considering a switch to Math in Focus and I am curious on your thoughts now that you have had sometime to use it.

I have used math picture books for kids to stimulate interest in the subject. Girls especially loose interest if they don’t understand WHY they are learning something and why it works. For example, why do we learn about sides of a triangle? What’s Your Angle, Pythagoras? explains 1 practical use which I never thought about when I was in high school. Here are a few of my favorites:

In reply to Kathleen Miller. I love the teacher's manuals for MCP. My dd is doing so well with math. I'm looking ahead for 7th grade. MCP only goes to 6th. Any suggestions for what to use for 7th? I have looked at Saxon and am not encouraged. Thanks!

Great list of awesome resources. I never knew that Pearson had a homeschool section available. I think you missed http://www.mathworksheetsland.com and Purple Math too. Purple Math is more upper level, but the math worksheets land covers everything pretty well at those lower grades. I love PDFs, so I am a bit biased.

Thanks for all your help.
