Secular Homeschool Math Curriculum

homeschool math curriculum directory
Why do you call it secular homeschool math curriculum. Isn’t all math curricula secular in nature?

Yes, I believe that for the most part, all homeschool math curricula is secular in nature. I have labeled it secular, however, because all materials listed here in this directory  are not part of any Christian or religious homeschool curriculum.

Which homeschool math curriculum should I use with my child?

The homeschool math curriculum to choose really depends on your own preferences and most importantly, on the preferences and learning styles of your child. Important factors to consider are the following:

  • Does it embrace multiple learning styles: visual, auditory, hands-on, or a combination of them?
  • Is it engaging enough for young or older children depending on the age of your child. Games & fun activities are essential for kids.
  • Does it rely heavily or moderately on parental guidance or is it mainly child led? Usually the older the child, the more independently he can work on his lessons. Important if you homeschool multiple children.
  • Is the pace in which the material is delivered appropriate for your child’s level or aptitude? Going too fast or too slow can be frustrating for your child.
  • Is the method of presentation/instruction appealing to your child? Textbooks, workbooks, worksheets, DVDs, online?
  • Is it portable? Portability is important if you are a frequent traveler.

The Math curriculum we use at home is RightStart Math –we *love* it and do recommend it. But I know there are a lot of other excellent resources available for all sorts of preferences and learning styles. Here is a list of all the secular homeschool math curricula I could find. I hope it will help you choose the right math curriculum for your own homeschool.

With all best wishes,
Patricia
