How To Choose The Best Homeschool Math Curriculum


Listen Later

This is part one of a two part series focused on how to choose the best homeschool math curriculum for struggling students.

Diversity of learning styles, cognitive differences, and specific life circumstances impact the learning experience of each student.

It is crucial for parents to understand that every child is truly unique. Every person learns best when equipped based on his or her own unique wiring.

There are two different approaches to math curricula out there: Spiral-based and Mastery-based.

For our kids who struggle to learn new math concepts, a mastery-based homeschool math curriculum may serve them well.

Spiral-based curricula offer more variety in that they tend to introduce a new topic each week.

Interestingly, neither Mastery-based nor Spiral-based homeschool math is better than the other.

What works best will be completely dependent upon your unique child.

Whether your child does well with one or the other will be based on a number of variables: frustration tolerance, aptitude for math, need for variety, etc.

Like everything else, it all depends on the learner.
