Teaching Textbooks Visitor Review:
I really liked these because it offered so much.
I get my sons, who love computers, to do the math in the workbook first. Then they put their answers in the computer. This allows them to check their answers,and re-do if necessary.
It also keeps track of grades and progress. If you think they need to go over a lesson again it’s easy. Just delete, which only you can do, and start over. Also you can make copies of the workbook, and use it for as many years as necessary; or sell it later. My sons are always willing to do their math since I bought this curriculum. They will do anything if it involves computers. The lessons are explained first in the workbooks, and gone over again exactly the same on the computer.
If a student doesn’t understand he can ask it to repeat; or get a hint. Also, there are fun games and bonus round if you do well. These can be a real challenge. Both, my boys liked it, and we are using it this year as well.
