How Every Student Can Learn Math with Teaching Textbooks (Review)

Disclosure: I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.

The question I get lots from other homeschool moms is “How do I teach math when I struggle with math and math wasn’t my favourite subject at school”.   Finding a curriculum that explains math concepts using techniques that are easy to understand is key.  In comparison, we are mathematically minded in our home, so math usually comes easy to us. Finding a curriculum that allows my boys to proceed at their own pace is essential to ensure that they excel and can move ahead at a faster pace.  Finding a curriculum that fits both of these types of situations isn’t always easy, but some can teach all learning styles equally well.  

Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0 from Teaching Textbooks is an app based curriculum that I highly recommend for all types of learners, ones who struggle in math and need lots of instruction, ones who want to quickly work through the levels without too much instructions and ones who need to write out the solution and see the solution done for them. We recently reviewed Grade 3 with my oldest son and absolutely loved the new features in Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0. 

Overview of Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0

Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0 is an app based curriculum that has been designed to use a multimedia step-by-step audiovisual solutions to present each math concept to your child.  The program both teaches and grades your student, so all you need to do as the parent is support your child. The math courses that they currently offer include: 

  • Math 3
  • Math 4
  • Math 5
  • Math 6
  • Math 7
  • Pre-Algebra
  • Algebra 1
  • Geometry
  • Algebra 2
  • Pre-Calculus

Each grade level is extremely comprehensive and covers all the standard topics.   There is at least 100 hours of audiovisual teaching in each grade.  The interactive lessons are easy to follow and there is an ebook for each level that you can print out or view online.  

Once you have an account for your child set up, your child is ready to start. They can choose to work through the lessons in sequence or they can select any lesson. There is the option of getting hints and second chances when answering the problems. 

If you child is still struggling, even with the lessons that are embedded in each problem, Teaching Textbooks offer free phone tutoring. 

As a parent, you can have access to the grade book, you can change some student lesson settings such as if they need to complete a lesson before moving on, how many lessons per day they can work on and when to show hints and provide second chances, view the answer key and ebook and pause the course, if required. 

Recent Updates to Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0

The recent upgrade to Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0 interface allows your child to easily access their math course through an app, that can work on mobile phones and tablets.  I love that Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0 can now truly be used anywhere and anytime, as the app can even be used offline, for up to 6 lessons at a time without reconnecting to the Teaching Textbooks servers.

The new features of a scratchpad is incredible.  Your child can now work through each problem by writing on the screen with their finger.  I absolutely love this hands on feature. Your child can work on the go, and they don’t need to have a pencil or paper handy.  

The grade book also calculates a running course average and includes an option to send out daily assignment update emails to you, as the parent. Students will also enjoy more backgrounds, creative characters, and additional stickers.

Try for Free 

You can now try Teaching Textbooks 4.0 for free with a free trial of any level.  The trial is a complete version of the program up through to Level 15, including the lectures, audio-visual solutions, ebook and automated grading features.  This trial never expires and if you decided to purchase the full version, your student’s progress and grades will automatically transfer.

Ranching with Kids
Though I spend most of my days multi-tasking betwe Though I spend most of my days multi-tasking between all the tasks of being a mom, I tend to get my BEST work done outside in the fresh air. There is just no better place to be with three young boys than outside, running off all their energy and living life on the ranch! Who agrees?
Wow! Winter came in with a blast! We are now feedi Wow! Winter came in with a blast! We are now feeding hay once per day to our 2 year olds and a few of the older cows. We will soon start feeding the cow herd hay as well. But right now, the cow herd is grazing some amazing grass that we had saved for when the snow arrived. We also supplement them with protein tubs to make sure they get sufficient protein as the grass may not have quite enough protein this time of year. 

PS - This is one of the photos in our 2023 calendar, which we are now taking orders for.
What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between hauling square bales, moving sheep fence, helping the boys with their show projects, checking hay, running the boys back and forth to the tractor for their “turns” baling hay, beef deliveries, tending to the garden, and doing all the other mom tasks, every day has been full. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a mom on the ranch to three incredible boys is so special. Watching their keenness, enthusiasm and love of life is the reason why I do what I do. However. I have to admit, I am not sure how to keep up to their energy level sometimes. They don’t tire out!
We check the cattle on our summer pastures on a re We check the cattle on our summer pastures on a regular basis throughout the entire summer. This is important so that we can ensure that the animals are healthy and have adequate water and salt.  It is also very necessary to check the condition of the pasture to help us determine when the cattle need to be moved to maintain, and often to continue to improve, the land and the grassland ecosystem.

I felt like I was constantly getting discouraged as we couldn't stop the lambs from getting out of their fenced pasture.  Then, I reflected on what I have been learning on social media by watching other sheep producers. This gave me a fresh outlook and I was able to figure out a new solution for all of the sheep to help better manage their large pasture and keep the lambs contained.  Everything changed, and all it took was a new perspective.  I didn't need to continue doing things the way that I had been.  Sometimes we just need a new perspective. Do you agree?
I will be the first to say that I was a bit scepti I will be the first to say that I was a bit sceptical about using electric fence for our sheep as I haven’t had the best experience in the past.  However, I am now 100% confident in using it while increasing our grazing potential for sheep on our operation. We currently use 2 sets of the electronet with the energizer from @fencefast_ .  I was amazed with how well it is keeping the sheep in, even when it is placed within tall grass. It is helping to protect the ewes with lambs from predators and allowing us to rotational graze the pasture. We are resting some areas of the pasture that have been grazed heavier and grazing areas that have a lot of grass that needs to be used.
