Top 5 Questions About Teaching Textbooks For High School || Homeschool Math Curriculum

[@wvfarmersdaughter]

I am very interested in teaching textbooks. Right now my kids are younger but I think TT starts at 3rd grade so I'm totally looking forward to switching to TT when we're ready. I am not a math minded person and this would take one thing off my plate which I need. Can't wait.

Yes we started all three of my older kids at 3rd grade and they have all thrived with it.

It sounds like TT is good and now we have boys who may find online math doable we may end up using it!!! My high school kids are taking high school slower so they can cope with their school schedules!!! I love that it can be placed on hold especially as the kids that may use TT are athletes so they school around their sports schedules!!!

Yes that is so helpful

My son is doing quite of bit of drawing in math ..using a protractor , a straight edge, and a compass. How would they do this in Teaching Textbooks?

[@LifeintheMundane]

This is a fantastic question, we haven't gotten to that point in high school math yet but I know these are things they address as a protractor is one of the required tools for geometry. So since I have not done that level yet I actually sent this question off to Teaching Textbook and will let you know as soon as I hear back from them on exactly how they do this.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Okay here is TT answer TT uses these same tools in its Geometry course. The student uses them while working out his answers on paper. With TT, answers are entered into the computer for grading, but that certainly does not mean that nothing is done on paper. In fact, most math problems need to be worked out on paper first. TT also sells print textbooks for parents who like its content--its style of teaching, organization of topics, etc.--but prefer not to use a digital curriculum.
