  1. I didn't realize there was a book. I'll check it out. Thanks!
  2. My DS is finishing up 7th grade and TT pre-algebra. He's frustrated with TT since it seems teach so many ways of doing things and throws something in on the test that he's not sure. I'm thinking it's hard since there is no book so it requires him to totally take notes in order to refer back. I love TT, however haha. I'm terrible at Math and it teaches him and shows him solutions when he's not getting it. Therefore it's a great Math program for me. I'm wondering if a math which uses a book would be a better fit. Does anyone know anything about Jacobs or CLE for Algebra and beyond?
  3. I'm looking for around the 2nd grade level. My daughter is looking into homeschooling her kids in the future and currrently has them at home with the schools closing. She was hoping there were some free online games to help with Math. They don't use many electronics so math will be fun if they can practice online. I'm out of the loop for those grades so I figured there were many of you who could help. Thanks 🙂
  4. Accidentally put in the wrong place. Sorry
  5. This would be great! I like this style. Detailed recordkeeping is overwhelming me. I'm secretly hoping I don't need as much as alot of people say.
  6. First I want to thank you for such a detailed answer 🙂 You gave me alot to think about as well as eased my mind a little. I'll check out Right Start Math. I definitley need something that helps me with ideas because I'm not very good at math myself to come up with things. I think you are right in becoming friends with the numbers. At this point she sees no need therefore it won't make sense. Do you know if there is a Math that teaches to the daily usage instead of just pages of problems? MUS has very short lessons which is great but it would help if there were books that taught to every day life situations to help her "make friends" 🙂 Maybe Right Start does that. I'll go check it out.
  7. I have my first 9th grader and 2 more kids heading to high school the next 2 years. I'm trying to come up with a way to organize my student's coursework to save for recordkeeping of their high school work? I need to get my head wrapped around something that will be easy and do the trick. What do you do? How much do we need to save for records? Pics are welcome 🙂
  8. We aren't sure about job/career at the moment. Thanks 🙂
  9. Yes, I definitely want her to handle money, balance a check book, and other basic living things. I'm not sure how to get her there or if there is a curriculum that just teaches the basics. Other than that I'm not sure what you are asking about high school plans. I'm planning on homeschooling through high school. I don't foresee college being in the plan.
  10. We struggle so much in Math. My DD is currently in 8th grade and struggles so much in Math. I just want to give her the vary basics for life. I need to be able to have enough Math for her to graduate but I'm not sure how to move forward. Currently we are at the beginning of Math U See Epsilon and she is struggling with adding more than one fraction with different denominators. Is this really needed in real life? I'm not sure I even need to add 3 fractions together. I just want to help her with what is actually needed, a way to get there and be done with Math 😞
  11. College is not realistic at this point. Things can change though 🙂
  12. Ok I'll start here and look into interoception and the books you mentioned earlier. It's a bit overwhelming. Thank you!
  13. Thanks eveyone!!! I decided to stick with it and go through the testing this year and see how it goes. I'll play it down as just something we have to do and have a treat like someone suggested. It's good to know we can graduate regardless but I'm still a little concernced about the high testing requirement but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Thanks for the information regarding the anxiety. I've never really thought she had anxiety, just stressed under some circumstances. Maybe this will help me decifer those issues as well. Thankfull for this board and the wonderful, knowlegable Moms on here 🥰
  14. It was both the tutor and Math. Math brings up the anxiety more than anything but the tutor didn't work well with her. So it wasn't worth continuing. I don't really understand the tiers. This is our first year with JP. What brings out her anxiety is when she doesn't understand something and it's too hard like Math or when given more than 1 thing to do at a time. How would someone get diagnosed?
  15. This is good to know. I'm just planning on doing the basics with her. Some of the couses she will be tested on to graduate I might not even do with her. Shes in Math u see Epsilon and might not even make it through Algebra 1 but will be tested on it if we continue. This is good to know that it won't keep her from graduating. Also, thanks for the information on anxiety. I'll look at those links you sent 🙂
  16. Thank You! I'll try this. Maybe sticking with it for the time being and trying this is worth it 🙂
  17. Thank you! I'm certainly trying. I'm sure I could be doing better though.
  18. I have a now 8th grader that gets very stressed out with too much work and struggles. She has executive functioning issues and ADHD. We are currently have a tutor come 2 times a week to help with writing/composition. We had to cancel the Math tutor because it was totally overwhelming her. We were eligible to get free tutoring through the Jon Peterson Scholarship in Ohio. My problem is that she really likes the tutor she has but through that we are required to take the state mandated testing in 8th grade and high school in order to continue and graduate. Testing will be the beginning of April and they have reached out to me to schedule it. This will totally stress her out and the low grades won't be worth it. So I'm probably going to need to cancel the tutor all together. My problem is ....... I'm terrible at writing and not sure how I can help her in this area. Is there a program/curriculum that we can use to teach her knowing that I'm not good at all at writing or how to teach her? Online wouldn't work. Thank you for any ideas. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place.
  19. I think my boys would like these. They have the Math and LA for high school. Has anyone done this before? One child would be doing Algebra 1 next year for 10th grade and not sure if you can start Life of Fred in Algebra. Also, do you think the Math and LA would be ok for high school? I've not actually heard of anyone using it at this level so that is why I'm asking. I just started Analytical Grammar a few months ago because my 3 needed grammar. Life of Fred looks like a fun way to learn.
  20. I just read this article and thought some others might be interested in knowing JROTC is opening up for homeschoolers. Thought this might be of interest for those interested in checking out the military while in school 🙂 https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/12/19/defense-bill-requires-local-jrotc-programs-to-admit-homeschooled-students/?fbclid=IwAR1p9hfhOZIYCrzVuo1f6B3F1bBPLIyVynuzdb7MUdO0lQPUSm7nQb9tVp4
  21. This helps so much. Thank you for giving me some ideas that would work. It gives me confidence that I have other alternatives. I'll see what might interest her and go from there 🙂 I'll be checking these out as well.
