\"HomeschoolWelcome to Homeschool Algebra!\u00a0 As a homeschool father and college instructor who has taught all levels of mathematics for over 30 years, I know the area that many homeschool families struggle with most to provi<\/strong>de for the educational needs of their children is mathematics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As a parent you already understand the importance of your child\u2019s education. \u00a0 In today\u2019s tech-driven economy, you also understand that apart from being able to read and write, there is no subject area that will open more doors of opportunity for those who learn it, and close more of those doors for those who don\u2019t, than mathematics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In order to meet this educational need, especially at the Jr. and Sr. High level where students start into algebra, homeschool parents have often enrolled their kids in developmental math courses at their local community college. Unfortunately, the same forces that have long been shaping the K-12 system that were factors for many of us in our decision to homeschool our children are now trickling up into higher education as well.\u00a0\u00a0 This has made it even more difficult for parents to obtain the math education they want to provide their children, but are often unable to provide themselves.<\/p>\n

Having experienced the issues firsthand, I know there is a need to support homeschool families with sound instruction in a traditional math curriculum.<\/strong>\u00a0 Over the past three decades I have very successfully taught all levels of mathematics from basic arithmetic though 4th<\/sup> semester calculus.\u00a0 By successful I mean that my students have come to understand why math is important and to obtain the skills they need to be successful, whether as scientists, engineers, doctors, nurses, business leaders, electricians, welders, mechanics, or even wives and mothers.<\/p>\n

There is not a more seamless, connected curriculum in all of education than mathematics.\u00a0 It spans from elementary school through Jr. and Senior High school into at least the first couple years of college.\u00a0 Mathematics is very cumulative and sequential; what students miss at one level directly impacts their ability to succeed at the next level<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is for this reason that so many find math difficult.<\/p>\n

Because of the breadth of content and the time and effort required to master mathematical concepts,\u00a0 it is not uncommon for students to either fall increasingly behind to the point where the concepts no longer make sense, or to find themselves passed along with various gaps in the skills they need for success.\u00a0 HomeSchool Algebra provides ex<\/strong>actly what students and their families need to meet these needs:<\/strong><\/p>\n
