Choosing the right homeschool math curriculum for your child can be so challenging with the countless options that are available. And unless you're a math genius yourself, it may seem a little daunting thinking about teaching math, especially as your child reaches higher grade levels. Thankfully there are many great options for math courses online that can minimize that seemingly daunting task..

There are a few things to ask yourself when choosing the best online math program for your kids. 

What to Consider When Choosing Online Homeschool Math Curriculum 

• Does your child prefer live math classes or a self-paced program?
• Would you like your kids to have an instructor who is not you? Someone else to plan their lessons and hold them accountable?
• Do you want a program that will use machine learning to determine what concepts your child should be studying, making the learning experience more personalized?
• What your state's math requirements based on grade level? Will the program you choose satisfy those requirements?
• Does your child respond best to gamified learning or something more rote and less flashy?
• Will the online math program provide parent records? Is there a place you can log into to see how your child is progressing?
• Will you need to switch programs as your child's math skills develop? Or does will the program grow with them and offer lots of levels of learning?

Considering these questions will give you some criteria to look for as you review each of these recommended programs.
