About Teaching Textbooks Designed for Homeschoolers A number of years ago we did the unthinkable and took a poke at a sacred cow when we said that we didn't like the conventional big-name home school math programs. Though some families were steadfast in their defense, there has since been an increasing number of families who have come to realize that math programs originally designed to be used in government schools are wholly inadequate to meet the needs of home educators. You Don't Have to be a Math Teacher! What is wrong with adapting a school-based text for home use? There are a couple of significant issues with doing that. First, because a typical school text assumes a knowledgeable math teacher, the explanations are often meager and brief. If you double as a math teacher, this will present no problem to you. However, many parents either did not take upper level math as a teen, or if they did, the process is just a distant, unpleasant memory. So sparse explanations in typical texts can be frustrating to both child and parent. Second, government schools' math texts often contain excessive use of terminology, making simple ideas seem complex. Combines a Teacher and a Textbook into One! However, the Teaching Textbooks series is written with home educators in mind so it tackles those issues head-on in a rather innovative way, by combining a teacher and a textbook into one. Firstly, their textbooks, since they were designed specifically for independent learners, contain far more explanation than any others on the market, and the tone is friendly and conversational. Because the Teaching Textbooks series was designed for homeschoolers studying independently, it uses far less irrelevant jargon than other textbooks, while still retaining all the terms that students need to know for those important standardized tests. The textbook also comes with an answer key and a test bank. Step-By-Step Multimedia Explanations Secondly, and ultimately what sold me on this program, are their computer CDs with down-to-earth, step-by-step multimedia solutions for every problem in the book, plus an additional CD-ROM with complete step-by-step solutions for every test problem. The lectures - one for each lesson in the textbook - provide hours of instruction. They cover the same material as the written lessons in the textbook, but many students prefer to listen to (and watch) an explanation for each lesson rather than read it out of a book. (Note that you'll still need the textbook, because it has all the homework assignments and the answer key). This is a brilliant idea, long overdue and skillfully done, with many hours of instruction. Review Method The Teaching Textbooks series has been field-tested with outstanding results. Like other quality math programs, Teaching Textbooks uses the review method because it is a proven method for insuring children are able to master difficult subjects such as algebra and geometry. Students using Teaching Textbooks are fully prepared for College Board examinations and college courses.

This is a fabulous product! August 23, 2010 Reviewer: Kathy from Burleson, TX   This is a fabulous product! I recommend it often to family and friends. We had used Abeka up to this point(and it worked with child #1 but not #2) then started using Saxon Algebra and it just wasn't working. Math is not my strongest subject to teach and I had to relearn many concepts just to teach my child. It was taking us 4-8 hours just on algebra most days and I just didn't have that kind of time to spend on one subject. So we decided to make the investment and switch mid-semester. This decision really paid off. My son was able to be an independant learner with Teaching texbooks.(I only grade the papers now!) He easily understands the information and is able to complete the assignments in about 45 minutes! He is also making A's instead of C's. With this program, I felt empowered because every problem has a complete explaination to it. No more groping for how to explain the process. And I mean every problem has an explaination of EVERY step and uses the correct mathmatical terms. It doesn't assume you know something, big plus for us. I wish we had started with this program initially. We wouldn't have lost 1/2 a year. If you are considering switching from your current program, Teaching Textbooks is definitely worth the investment. I wouldn't hesitate to switch at any point in the year. Was this review helpful to you?

Math is now her favorite subject February 24, 2010 Reviewer: Cindy from Sachse TX   Do you think that you've tried every math program on the market for homeschoolers? Well, if this isn't one that your student has tried and you need a tried and true, easy to use Algebra program, bite the bullet and invest in this easy-to-use, very thorough, and academically challenging algebra program. You won't be sorry! Our daughter had given up on Algebra, 'Will I really use it anyway?', until we ordered this from Timberdoodle last fall. Math is now her favorite subject and we've been homeschooling 10 years and she's NEVER said that before! Was this review helpful to you?

Our thoughts February 23, 2010 Reviewer: Anonymous person from San Antonio, TX United States   It was up-beat, for us easily understood and Fun! The CD's were very helpful, not boring lectures and gave alternate info if not understanding the books lesson.  We are now using the Geometry set and liking it as well.

This series is sooo perfect! February 19, 2010 Reviewer: Sharon from Granite Falls MN   I am one of those Moms who gave exactly the bare minimum it took to get through math of any sort growing up; and I have the math knowledge to prove it!  I was later blessed to receive a gifted student as my firstborn, a daughter who sees higher math as a puzzle to be savored.  I needed a curriculum that would allow her to excel beyond my abilities without me being forced to try to keep up and ultimately holding her back.  This series is sooo perfect.  The challenge my daughter needs and the information required in an easy to assimilate manner!  Four thumbs up!! (hers and mine!) Was this review helpful to you?

So far, so good. . . September 25, 2009 Reviewer: AKB from Florida   As with most homeschool families, it's a big decision to invest in a curriculum choice like Teaching Textbooks (especially since we already have Saxon texts for almost all grades.)   However, we took the plunge. . . and so far are very pleased with Teaching Textbooks Algebra.  We needed more explanation, more teaching. . . I used Saxon in high school and the same things that frustrated me as a student frustrate my children (and me as a parent!)  The younger children still use lots of manipulatives, games, mental math play and Saxon, but starting with the oldest we're using Teaching Textbooks for Algebra and beyond.
