Looking For Good Math Curriculum For Home School

You may be struggling with or have struggled in the past with trying to choose the right math curriculum for your child. "Is there a best math curriculum for my child's learning style and abilities?"

Keep in mind there probably is no perfect math curriculum out there. But there are curricula that may be more suited to your childs particular learning style as well as your particular teaching style. As a general rule, the better you are as a math teacher, the less the book matters and vice versa.

Either way it's best to find the best book that you can based upon your child's needs and goals.

A few things to consider:

• Your child's learning style
• Your budget
• Goals you have.
• Does the curriculum rehearse one concept a lot before moving to next or does it present several concepts within a shorter time but then practice them over several grades - and how would that suit your child?
  
  

You should also talk with other home school parents about curriculum they have used. Try to take a look at several if possible to get a feel for it.

And remember once you've chosen, if your child is not getting the most from it you can always switch to another.

Just a few thoughts. Maria Miller over at homeschoolmath.net has a real good article with several curricula listed and a little about each one. Check the full article out here. Hope this helps.
