Excellent list Beth! But we feel a little left out 🙁 UnLock Math was voted #1 digital math curriculum by the readers of “Practical Homeschooling” magazine for 2017 & 2018. My wife and I (she’s the math teacher) are homeschool parents and were homeschooled ourselves. We have developed an online math curriculum that currently cover Pre-Algebra through Algebra II, with Foundations (grade 6) Math and Pre-Calculus/Trig. on the way. Please check us out and let us know what you think https://www.unlockmath.com/demo-lesson.php
Have you tried ST Math? Curious on your thoughts!
I have not. Are you in the Techin’ Your Homeschool Facebook group? You could ask there and other techie homeschoolers may have some advice for you. You can join here >>> https://www.facebook.com/groups/TechinYourHomeschool/
We have used it. It is a great program but did not work for our kids. If your kids are visual learners, it is an excellent program. If they are not, it is super slow and frustrating.
ST math is terrible. My kids get to use it for free at their public school. It’s a game based program but it’s not an intelligent program that realizes if you understand the material to move on. Instead, you are forced to do things over and over to redundancy death. Pounding math into a kid isn’t the way to do it especially for kids that grasp things quickly. The graphics are dull and very low level.
What about Teaching Textbooks? With their 3.0 version now online it is a great option. Not to mention it was a Cathy Duffy favorite for years…
