We used Singapore up to pre-algebra, Teaching Textbooks through Algebra, Algebra II, and Geometry, then switched to Thinkwell math for pre-calculus. That is where we are now. Even though I do math for a living (including quite a bit of calculus), we will send both kids to the community college next year for Calculus I, II, II, and Linear Algebra to prepare them for a four year school. We tried Saxon, but we liked the other programs a lot better.

That is one of the things that is truly good about homeschool—parents can change to whatever they want, whenever they want if something is not working. We used completely different basic reading programs for our so and our daughter because they learn so differently.

It’s good to know that there are other good math curricula out there.

Honestly, if the kids can memorize their addition and multiplication facts and understand fractions, I’d say 90% of the battle is over.

The rest of mathematics is manipulating figures and all use those basic tools.
