Math on the Level

For parents frustrated by rigid grade-level programs that either rush or bore their child, Math on the Level offers an unusually flexible alternative. This parent-led homeschool curriculum covers concepts from basic arithmetic through pre-algebra, organizing them by topic rather than grade and emphasizing real-life application. Created by educators specifically for home use, it gives parents tools to decide when a child is ready to learn each concept and to design daily review tailored to that learner. Families like the freedom to slow down or accelerate without “getting behind” and the practical ideas for weaving math into cooking, shopping, and building projects. The upfront cost is higher than a single workbook series, but because the materials are reusable across multiple children and years, it can be economical for larger families. It does require more planning and record-keeping from the parent, so it’s best for those who enjoy customizing.
