alisoncooks Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I know many popular programs were designed to be used in a private/Christian school setting (BJU, Abeka, CLE, R&S...) And some are for regular classroom use (Singapore, Math in Focus). I was just curious: what programs were actually designed to be used in a homeschool setting? One-on-one, parent and child?

wapiti Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Math Mammoth Singapore's Home Instructor's Guide was made for homeschooling, no? AoPS was designed for independent use but not for homeschooling specifically. I don't know whether it was really designed for school use either (though there are a very few schools that use it); many of its users may be afterschoolers. LoF may be another one.

boscopup Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Math Mammoth and Teaching Textbooks are the only ones I can think of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Perhaps Right Start? I don't know for certain, but it seems purely for one on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 MUS, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Singapore's Home Instructor's Guide was made for homeschooling, no? I assumed that Singapore (as well as Saxon) were designed/intended for school use, but publishers have made guides (such as the HIG) that adapt the program for family use.... but IDK. *Not that it matters terribly* but I was just curious what out there has been developed with hs'ers in mind.

Crimson Wife Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Right Start was designed for classroom use in Montessori schools. Calvert was designed for independent study, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Saxon math. I'm not sure if it was designed just for homeschoolers, but it obviously has the homeschool editions. Not a curricula per se, but maybe LivingMath.net. She offers math lessons as pdf, and I believe that was for homeschoolers by a homeschooler.

That there are homeschool editions only means that the publisher saw a good market. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The original (2-vol., not the later textbooks) AoPS books I believe were written for self-study by students wanting preparation for math competition. I think that should count as "homeschooling." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Study Time Arithmetic was created for Amish classrooms where there is often just one child per grade. The OLDER Ray's arithmetic, not the Mott Media version, was written to be taught by parents and tutors, not classroom teachers.

Farrar Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Kitchen Table Math is clearly for home use. I'm not sure that being written with homeschoolers in mind makes a program better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm not sure that being written with homeschoolers in mind makes a program better or worse. Yeah, it's a fun list making activity, but ultimately I don't think it matters one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
