Have you ever been stumped by an algebra problem that neither you nor your student could solve without the help of a certified professional because it wasn’t clearly explained in the textbook? Then read on. . . .

When it comes to computers, if you can wait long enough, you might just end up with the most cutting-edge technology for less money than you once paid for your old electric typewriter! Well, this principle often holds true with homeschool curriculum, too.

Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, I found Algebra 1 & 2: Teaching Textbooks at the 2004 Wichita, Kansas, homeschool convention, where Karen and I were speaking. While walking the busy exhibit aisles, I spied a large PC monitor graphically teaching the concepts of algebra. Co-creator Greg Sabouri explained to me the uniqueness of this course.

1) No more guessing! Every example from the lesson lectures and every practice and homework problem from the accompanying student text are clearly and colorfully explained step by step and solved right before our eyes on the monitor.

2) This program was written exclusively for homeschool students and parents, so it has a friendly unstuffy tone.

3) You get 129 lessons, thousands of problems, and over 100 hours of audiovisual instruction on the CDs!

This is a truly affordable alternative to a personal tutor, proving that good things do come to those who wait.654-page spiralbound student textbook with 111-page answer key and test books; 3 CD-ROMs for lecture and practice; 4 CD-ROMs for solution explanations.

Thank you thank you Teaching Textbooks! I used this curriculum in 8th grade after trying Saxon's Algebra 1 in 7th grade and it was such a difference. Keeps you interested and entertained through funny word problems, etc. I found the CD's helpful but not necessary, so maybe save some $$ buying curriculum without them... other than the colorless pages, definitely a winner!

Our daughter who is in her 1st year of homeschooling has performed below proficient on the NECAP scores with the Public Schools. We just finished Pre-Algebra and what a success she has had. She reads the textbook by herself, she hardly uses the CDs. With her learning difficulties she has become independent and works solely on her own. She will ask for help when needed but usually refers to the CD. I highly recommend this program for your child. We will be getting Algebra 1. Thank you for such an easy understanding of teaching math. She has mastery.

I am truely a fan of Teaching Textbooks. Algebra is one of the harder subjects to teach teens and I think that this cirriculum does a wonderful job. My child has a hard time with math and it works great to have the CD's to go back to and review the examples given. It does a good job explaining the concepts. Much better then I could do. We switched over to Teaching Textbooks for the ease of use and the great way to get the point across to my teen.

These programs are great but my son is still struggling. Maybe it is him and not the Kit. I find it a bit confusing myself.

We have been blessed by this excellent math curriculum. My kids no longer dread doing their math. Every new school year, they're so happy I've ordered Teaching Textbooks.

Wow!!! What a difference this curriculum has made in math, not one of our favorite subjects. My daughter actually said she likes math now! That has never happened in all of her years of schooling. I love that the curriculum is reusable. That makes the cost a much better value. I will be using it again for my son in a few years. I am seriosly thinking of ordering the seventh grade version for him this year, if things do not improve in our current curriculum. Thank you so much for a program that helps homeschooling be less of a chore and so much more enjoyable Cindy Ward

I wish I had known about this product sooner. I have homeschooled for over 8 years and it is one of the best math curriculums I have seen. It is very user friendly, clear, and easy to understand. I highly recommend this product to anyone.
