Buying Math Curriculum

I wasn't going to buy Math curriculum, at first. I figured I could go to the library for resources, find free worksheets online at sites like education.com and about.com, and use websites like 1XL for practice; however, since I am thinking about taking on a part-time job, I thought I should find something they can work on at their own pace and on their own.

In an earlier post, I mentioned Life of Fred Mathematics. I almost forgot about it when I decided to go ahead and find a Math curriculum! I had the kids run through the samples given on the website lifeoffredmath.com and they really enjoyed it, "better than boring worksheets," they said. :D

Pilot even went off on his own and wrote 1-100 in roman numerals!

So, I ordered them and we shall see what comes of it!

  1. I looked into Life of Fred too! I am hesitant to use it, so I really look forward to hearing how it works for you all. Will Little One be participating in this or just the boys?

  2. Little One will participate in school this year. I am feeding her information from the world around us and also beginning Phonics lessons with her. We are starting with letter sounds and three-letter words. As a matter of fact, I ordered the Usborne Phonics Readers for her, too. :D
