Curriculum: Math

We are about to begin our adventure in home schooling.  It was not an easy decision to make but I know it is a decision that is best for everyone.  Over the month of September I plan on reviewing topics and subjects that were covered last year.  I am looking into an art program outside of the house to make sure we have interaction with other children while tackling core subjects in an environment with little distractions.  All the curriculums will be established over the month of September.  

MATH

Lawrence did fairly well with math and didn't have any issues with the Singapore approach.  I was weighing towards staying with the same program but decided to go with a different program that was more teacher/student home school study friendly.  Plus all the materials are sent over in a digital download, which I prefer.

The curriculum we went with is Mammoth Math  http://www.mathmammoth.com/

I am in the planning phase.  I have 180 days and 3 hours per week that I have to get into my log.  This is a complete program with 2 work books.  The program is nice because each chapter has links to on-line math games and lessons plus links for additional review and worksheets so the entire program is just not work book based but it is also visual through the on-line options that are available.  

I'll continue to share as we progress through the program.
