Math

Today for Math, Mahal did a workbook Deluxe Edition Time, Money, & Fractions grades 1&2. I bought it earlier this year at Wal-Mart. Deluxe Edition Time, Money, & Fractions is available as a workbook and/or a workbook with a cd-rom. The cost of the workbook is between 3-4 dollars plus tax and the cost of the workbook with the cd-rom is between 15-16 dollars plus tax. What I like about the cd-rom is it saves paper, there are reward games that kids can play after finishing about 3 pages (which doesn't take Frances nor Mahal more than 5 minutes sometimes), but another good thing with the cd-rom is you can stop the game once it starts and go on to more work.

Here are some other programs for Math:
Math Made Easy
Math U See
IXL
These all have their benefits. I think I'd like to try IXL, because it tells us what our kids should be learning at what grade level, but it can become expensive and it requires a computer.
At the homeschooling Conference we got information from Math on the Level it saves us money and I don't have to invest every year. These separate volumes are fully indexed and cross-referenced – and in full color! With emphasis on maturation and practical application, this one curriculum purchase will meet the math needs for teaching your whole family from preschool through pre-algebra! All volumes operate as a single curriculum, are fully cross-referenced and indexed, and are in full color. The curriculum uses the innovative 5-A-Day system of continual review that makes sure each child retains what has been learned.
