How I Teach Math in My Homeschool: CTCMath Review
This is a sponsored post, however all opinions are my own.
Getting Started:
When you first get started you will add your children to the program. I added all four of my children, 1st, 3rd, and placed my twin preschoolers in the kindergarten level. Note: I think that four-year olds can start the kindergarten level to be prepared for school. I do the lessons with my twins and we usually do two each a day.
Each level has diagnostic tests that you can assign to your child to see where they are. I assigned my daughters their current grade level to see where they are now. Although they did well on the diagnostics, I still kept them in their current grade level so that they could go through each lesson.
Major Features:
- Kindergarten through 12th Grade
- U.S. Curriculum
- Flexible Grade Placement
- Interactive (Videos & Questions)
Pros:
History
This is my favorite feature! I love clicking on the timeline and being able to see what my children have done throughout the day. The history tab allows parents to see when your child has logged in, what they viewed, and what they completed.
Emails
Parent Area
In the tools tab, you can browse through the lessons beforehand. It gives the option view the video or download a pdf. This is good for children who need additional practice, and you want to teach it to them.
Checklists
You can download checklists for each grade level that shows the topics of each lessons. I can put the date that we completed the lesson, as well as their grade.
Easy to Use
Cons:
I like that the lessons are flexible and can go in any order, however I wish that I could lock them and place in the order that we are teaching. My oldest likes to choose her lessons and always starts with the easiest first.
