  17. I have been homeschooling my kids of ages 11 and 10 since 8 years.Now I am deciding to go back to the University to complete my Master's degree and worrying about kids homeschooling for 2 years. Here is what they have been using : Language Arts: Time4learning LA and LAX Mcgraw Hill Reading,Spelling and Grammer with Student book Once a week Comprehension book and some other EM review books Reading Literature -1 novel each month with its quizzes and Vocabulary Writing-Time4learning and Treasures Book Librivox-Audio books-1 Chp.Daily Bedtime Reading-Free Reading 30 mins. Maths- Time4learning Math Mammoth Singapore math xtramath and Khan Academy Mental math strategies Science- Time4learning-Middle School Science Mr. Q LIfe Science CPO Life Science Geography and History: Evan Moor Daily Geography Easy Peasy Home school Computer: Code.org Codeacademy Scratch and HTML Coding My one child is too slow in everything so need an advice as how to finish my Homeschool in 5 hours?Usually it takes 8-9 hours with just 3R's.I got really discourage about my homeschooling lately as it seems too much like school work. I am thinking if kids do T4L Daily,but alternate Mcgraw Hill treasures book and other LA Books alternate then it might work.All the curriculum has alot of writing in it and they take too much their time. Does this sound like it might be a good fit in this situation? I need to manage all these before September as my studies would be started. Thanks!
  18. Thanks for all your time and efforts... Do Alcumus online videos have practice exercise also?(so that no need to buy AOPS Book-for supplementing purpose) Could you guide me Khan Academy Prealgebra videos and its practice exercise ? https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic Is that the one?Would it be enough for supplementing for Pre algebra? I have also seen Lucideducation online videos but have to buy its workbooks for practicing? Any more suggestion.....
  19. Great!It means we can use AOPS according to a child capability and slowly slowly beside CD Math series... Are you guys also using AOPS workbook with its free videos?Can your dc do it independently or need your help for solving its exercises?
  20. Thanks for your detailed reply. Actually,I got my education out of States so need to buy Chalkdust Basic Math program and other levels.Though I was good at Maths in my School but really afraid of AOPS Maths that if my kids need my assistance as that is for Mathy people and kids....If ds can do AOPS Pre algebra on his own relying on Alcumus and the AoPS videos then I could go for it... I would like to ask that at what age did your kid finish Auffmann's and CD for Basic Math and some Lial's Pre-A?
  21. Thanks a ton for Replying..... Yes,I need actually CD video learning for kids so would grab CD Math.... A question that can students learn and do CD Maths independently? Glad I asked here.............
