Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.
Good morning! Today I want to tell you all about our experience with CTCMath. We were given the one-year subscription of the 12- Month Family Membership to review this time, and as always, it is such a blessing for our family. This is our 3rd year using CTCMath as our full-time math curriculum, and we love it!!!
As a homeschooling mom, I have always had anxiety when it came to teaching high school math subjects like Geometry, Calculus, Algebra 2, and Trigonometry. With CTCMath, I don't have to worry. They are an Australian based company that teaches math lessons through videos. Their courses range from Kindergarten to 12th grade. They provide quality lessons for our children to learn what they need to know in a way that they will remember.
Here is what they offer:
- Video Tutorials
- Interactive Questions
- Worksheets and Solutions
- Reports of the Students Progress
We have 1 student using the program right now, but Hope will be joining him in the Fall. Josh is doing Geometry right now. He is doing very well. He enjoys the videos and love the fact they can work at their own pace. I love that CTCMath keeps records of their classes and grades and sends me progress reports. If you are not sure what class your child belongs in, they have diagnostic testing to help you put them right where they belong.
Here are examples of the Progress Report and Grading Level Certificates that Josh is getting:
This program can be done independently or you can sit with your child as they watch the videos and complete the lessons. I like that children can watch the videos over and over again until they understand the concept being taught. After each video, they are given questions to answer. You can print the questions and tests, but we prefer to save paper and ink, so we do what we can from looking at our computer screens only using paper to work through steps of an equation, then entering our answers into the computer where they will be graded immediately. If you miss any, you can go over them and try again. On the teachers' side of the program, you also have the answers to pull up at any time if needed.
I have personally sat down with Josh to see how the program works and I have to say that I have learned quite a bit from the videos. The lessons are thorough and they make sure each concept is taught and understood before going on to a new one.
CTCMath has been a lifesaver for our family and we are looking forward to learning more as we continue with the lessons.
It has been so nice not having to argue with my kids when it's time to do the math. Josh is no longer complaining about his lessons. Some days it was like pulling teeth to get him to do his math work, but now he is actually enjoying each session. I have been thrilled to see his progress and his grades have been great. Compared to other math programs we have tried, this one seems to be the best fit for our family. I am so excited to have another free year to use it, and I know for a fact we will continue are subscription beyond the free year. I am no longer anxious when it comes to math class and that is a good feeling.
