Have I mentioned that we tend to gravitate toward art and writing, as opposed to math? I think each of my children would say they enjoy the creativity of expressing themselves artistically, through drawing or painting, musically, or as a wordsmith, with little inclination to numbers crunching. I acknowledge that numbers are vital to the order of the universe, though; so, I am always looking for ways to mathematically engage my students.
Pearson Homeschool desires to support our commitment to give our children the best education possible. “From kitchen table to computer, our proven resources propel learning at your child’s perfect pace.

We have used several online computer programs for math, in the past few months, and I think my daughter enjoys having a book-in-hand and not having to schedule available PC time. enVisionMATH is a full math curriculum and it does teach sequential concepts, which I definitely like, but I am still undecided whether or not I would use it exclusively as our math program. Grade 4, has been a wonderful gap-filler, for us, and I do expect to complete every lesson with my daughter.

This is a non-consumable book, which I actually appreciate, since I can re-use it with my other children without an added expense, but a notebook is needed in addition to the student text. The course can be teacher intensive, because the introduction of a new concept sometimes lacks fine details, in the student text, and must be taught. In this case, I like that it forces me to remain hands-on with my child’s education. Assessment of her strengths and needs is easy, because I’m involved on a daily basis. Teaching Guides are available and I do not think this is difficult to teach.
