Teaching Textbooks

Middle and high school math often becomes a flashpoint between parents and kids, especially if explanations just aren’t clicking. Teaching Textbooks is a full math curriculum delivered via interactive lessons with built‑in grading and step‑by‑step audio explanations. Created by college math instructors turned homeschool authors, it’s designed for students to work largely independently on a computer or tablet. We love that every problem has a walkthrough solution, which lowers the pressure on non‑mathy parents. It’s ideal for roughly grade 3 and up, especially families who want a clear, open‑and‑go path through pre‑algebra, algebra, and beyond. The tone can feel a bit dated and less rigorous than some competition, so we recommend supplementing with extra challenge for math‑strong kids, but for many it’s a lifesaver. Pro tip: have students keep a paper notebook where they work problems by hand before entering answers to avoid over‑relying on the screen.
