Struggling with Math?

Most often it's for this reason. Something has been missed or not understood earlier.

Since the rules and principles of math build on each other step-by-step, if some of these crucial building blocks are missing, then it's very tough for your kids to really understand math going forward. 

What happens then is the age-old problem.

Kids fall further and further behind until finally they convince themselves they're "no good at math."
But here's the good news...

This can change. And it can change for you and your kids without the pain normally associated with change.

Proven to Raise Grades Fast

CTCmath guides kids through math, lesson by lesson.
It allows them to pause, rewind and repeat all or part of any lesson until they get it.

• Learn math at their own pace - no stress, no pressure
• Pause, rewind or repeat a lesson until they really get it
• Increases confidence in class
• Catch up on lessons missed or concepts not fully understood
• Preview lessons at home before school
• Gain understanding and confidence especially in areas where they struggled before
• Gives your kids the freedom to learn without stress at home in their own time
• All results are recorded so that progress can easily be seen
• Above all, this really does work!

Because math concepts build upon each other, sometimes it's necessary to go back and revise a particular concept before moving on to a new topic. 

By being able to review all lessons no matter what grade your kids are in, they get the chance (maybe for the first time ever) to finally understand math properly.

Which greatly lifts their confidence. Not just in math, but in themselves.

So no matter what grade your kids are in, this program helps. They can go back if they need to. Or even look ahead if they want.

Who Is It For?

All ages, K-6 students studying Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Pre Calculus, Calculus, Algebra II, Geometry and Trig

Review 

Math has never been my strong suit, so when I was asked by the Educent teams if I wanted to try out CTCmath in exchange for an honest review, I was all over it. I decided I would use CTCmath with Poppy and Yang.  I started Poppy on Algebra I since she completed Pre-Algebra with K12 before Christmas break. Clearly Poppy is good at math so I'm really looking for something to actually challenge her at this point. Luckily I'm able to move her around as need be and I plan to move her up to Pre-Calculus next week to see how she does. 

I started Yang out on the third grade level.  She is pretty good at math but she likes things to move along and not spend 20 minutes doing the same type of problems. You start out each lesson with a short 3+ minute audio/video lesson which is followed by 10 online questions on the material just covered. If the student gets the answer wrong it gives them the correct answer, otherwise they will receive a green check. At the end students have the option to print off their score along with the test questions and their answers. If they did not master the concepts they are able to do the lesson again. 

The lessons are in depth so that the students can learn the materials but they are not long and drawn out so the student loses interest. Owlet has always had a hard time with math so once she gets done with her OGT testing at the end of next week I am going to try some lessons with her to hopefully get some missing concepts to click for her.

We are all looking forward to continuing to use CTCmath!

A+ TutorSoft Interactive MATH Curriculum

It's that time of year again when we all being looking for our curriculum for next year. Sometimes this is very easy, as what we used last year worked perfectly for us. Other times it is not. It may be that what we used last year was not the perfect fit, or we may have been using a hodge podge of materials and we really want a full curriculum. Whatever the case may be, I have a great multi-sensory interactive MATH curriculum for you.

You may remember that I did a review of A+ TutorSoft back in February (you can read it here). During November and December they offer a giveaway totaling over $6,200 in product. 50 lucky families won a year of math curriculum, and you guessed it - we won!

I've been using the 2nd grade CD premium software with Yang now for a few months. School has been little to none for the last month but luckily with A+ TutorSoft you can pick up right were you left off, or review if need be. You start each day with a 5-7 minute lesson. The lesson can be paused, rewound or forwarded if need be. The entire lesson is completely audio so as well as great visuals. The lessons are thorough enough on the concept but short enough that the child will not get bored. Since the lesson has audio and visuals throughout you are free from teaching the lesson so grab your coffee cup and take a few minutes to relax!

After the students have listened to the lesson they will take an Interactive Q and A to reinforce the concepts they just learned in the lessons. The Q and A sections varies from 5 to 10 questions, depending on the lesson and grade. If the students gets the answer wrong, it will immediately go over the concept for that problem. Students can also view an explanation of the solution after each problem. At the end the students are able to print a certificate showing how well they did on the Q and A.

There are optional workbooks available for purchase, but really it is a must have! After the students have finished their lesson and Interactive Q and A, there is a worksheet to complete. All of the worksheets, answer keys, exams, and answer keys are in the optional workbook. Each workbook includes well over 400 pages. Ink & paper alone will cost you more than the workbook. Plus it is bound, so there is no searching for stay papers.

Remember I did say the workbooks are optional. You can print the all worksheets from the software and the online version if you wish.

In addition to the CD software premium edition that we use, there is also a standard edition. The standard edition does not include the features under the admin tab. In addition, there is also an online version available, as well as concept based programs available. 


So what are you waiting for? Go check out A+ TutorSoft for yourself. There is a 1 month free trail available. Use coupon code SOHO20 to receive 20% off your order.
