Last year we had a terrible time with math. Hailey was more than capable of doing the math, but it would take hours just to do one worksheet. There were many tears over said worksheets, yet when I asked her the questions verbally, she could always answer correctly. I knew we had to do something different. After much prayer, and looking around, we ended up with Teaching Textbooks 3.
About the program:
- This is a full-year curriculum designed for the typical 3rd grader or an academically-advanced 2nd grader.
- The product includes a 604-page consumable workbook, a print answer booklet, and 4 PC & MAC-compatible CDs that contain step-by-step audiovisual solutions to every one of the thousands of homework and test problems.
- All the standard topics are covered in the curriculum.
- Math 3 also comes with a digital grade book that grades answers as soon as they are entered and calculates percentages for each assignment.
- There is a video instructor who teaches each lesson
What we liked:
- The instructor for the program is not boring.
- No more fighting over Math. She asks to do it.
- She loves using the computer for Math
- I like that I can check her grades, and see what problems she has missed. if I notice that she is missing the same type of problem every time, I know that we need to stop and work on that concept.
- I like that when she misses a problem she can watch a clip of how to work the problem.
- She can do this independently.
- The graphics are fun
- The print is big, so she has no problem seeing it.
- It has built in tests, and speed drills. (bonus rounds which are fun)
What we didn’t like:
- We purchased the workbook and that has been no use to us.
- It is pricey.
Overall Thoughts:
This is a keeper in my book. Both of my older kids are very visual, and love the computer so, this program will be around for a while. There have been no negatives in using this, so we will move on through TT4, and see how that goes.
Here is a clip of my daughter telling what she thinks about it.
