LET'S GET REAL: Homeschool Review Crew: Our Review of MathArt Online 4-Class Bundle

I am always looking for fun ways to approach teaching my children subjects such as math and science. When I saw these classes, I couldn't wait to receive and review them. I knew that the MathArt Online 4-Class Bundle from NatureGlo's eScience would be a good fit for our daughter Hope, who is in the 5th grade. She loves to try new and innovative classes.

Once you purchase your class or bundle, you will have access to the live and recorded classes. The bundle is the best deal, but you can buy one class at a time. Some facts about these lessons are that they are taught from a neutral worldview. They are geared for ages 10 and up and you get one year to access what you have purchased. Gloria Brooks, the founder of NatureGlo's eScience, is a creative teacher and wants to get students excited about learning.

There are four courses in the bundle that we were give to review, but we focused on just one. We worked through the MathArt in Ancient Cultures course. This is a six week class and can be viewed live or you can watch it through a recorded session. We have a very busy schedule so we chose to use the recorded sessions. I like that they give you a choice in this area so we didn't have to work around a certain schedule. They also allow more than one student to work through the courses. That is a huge plus for families who have more than one student wanting to attend the classes.

Navigating the site is easy. After logging in, just click on the class you are taking and head on over to the lessons. They log your progress each time you complete a section of the lesson, so you don't have to worry about keeping track. You are given one lesson per week with each course.

The lessons in the MathArt Ancient Culture's course are:

Week #1 – Ancient Babylonians & Plimpton 322
Week #2 - Ancient Greek Math and the Platonic Solids
Week #3 - Pythagoras and the Music of the Spheres
Week #4 – Ancient India’s MathArt: Rangoli, Mandalas & The Story of 1-9 and 0
Week #5 – Zellige Moroccan Tiles & Other Tessellations
Week #6 – Maya MathArt

Each lesson is unique and fun for your child. From slideshows to activities, they will keep busy as they learn how math is a great tool and not just another subject they have to learn. Math is important to so many areas of life.

My daughter loved the fun activities that reinforced the lessons. She was mesmerized with the concepts that were used in these cultures and couldn't wait to sit down and learn how they used math in everyday situations.

All these pictures above are showing the hard work that Hope put into each class. She loved watching the videos and was able to learn more than I could have ever taught her through a textbook.

When you finish your course, you are given a certificate of completion. Hope loved this! She was proud to show her dad how well she did.
