  1. I have three always homeschooled boys (entering 7th, 9th, and 11th grades). I feel like I've let them down in the math department. I can do lots of math, but my oldest has no interest in learning from me. My middle really likes Khan Academy, but got stuck despite spending adequate time last year working on Algebra I topics. He also doesn't like to work with me on math. My youngest could be good at math, but isn't particularly motivated. He's not doing high school math yet, but I might have a chance to get him on track before 9th grade. I can't picture any of them learning from just a textbook. So what is working for high school math at your house with your kids?
  2. I did this last year with my 2nd and 6th graders. We went slowly and worked open book. My older son caught on quickly, but it was more fun to do it as a small group, so we went at the pace the 2nd grader could handle. I have wanted for years to do a foreign language but have never actually gotten to it before. This book was very easy to use.
  3. That sounds great. We're nowhere close to that level.
  4. I am looking for suggestions for a non-writing 4th grader. He is reading (say, Magic Tree House books) with a little help. I think having some of the fundamentals of spelling will help. I own the 4th edition (not the most recent) of The Writing Road to Reading and Sanseri's older book, Teaching Reading at Home. I'm finding those difficult to implement, and wonder if Sanseri's newer book, Spelling to Read and Write would be a good investment, or if anyone can suggest another approach. Thanks!
  5. I think the ASUS Transformer looks very attractive -- it's an android tablet that turns into an android netbook if you buy the integrated keyboard. Dell has a small laptop that is similar -- it's keyboard folds under leaving you with a tablet. I just bought an $85 tablet from Pandigital that I plan to use mainly as an ereader, but that also works as an android tablet. I hope to have lots of classics on there, as well as the MEP teacher manuals. I'll use it, and hand it to kids who need to read free classics. It will be able to borrow ebooks from the library. It could be I get what I paid for, but I'm hopeful it meets our needs. The color Nook could work, too.
