  • Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra

    Created for the independent, homeschooling student, Teaching Textbooks has helped thousands of high schoolers gain a firm foundation in upper-level math without constant parental or teacher involvement.

    Extraordinarily clear illustrations, examples, and graphs have a non-threatening, hand-drawn look, and engaging real life questions make learning pre-algebra practical and applicable. Textbook examples are clear while the audiovisual support includes lecture, practice and solution CDs for every chapter, homework, and test problem. The review-method structure helps students build problem solving skills as they practice core concepts and rote techniques.

    Teaching Textbooks’ new Pre-Algebra Version 2.0 edition now includes automated grading! Students watch the lesson on the computer, work a problem in the consumable workbook, and type their answer into the computer; the computer will then grade the problem. If students choose to view the solution, they can see a step-by-step audiovisual solution.

    TruthQuest History puts God back at the center of the past.
    Centered on “living books,” this creative approach to history integrates elements of both Charlotte Mason and Classical methods.

Suggestions for activities or writing exercises are often included as well.

Incredibly flexible in nature, families can proceed at the pace that’s best for their students as they select “spines,” biographies, in-print books, and out-of-print classics from the extensive lists.

    Proceeding chronologically, entries include lists for Napoleon, War of 1812, Science and Industry, Industrial Revolution, Johnny Appleseed, Santa Fe Trail, Irish Potato Famine, Hudson Taylor, Musicians, Anna Carroll, and other relevant unit-study topics.

    Grades 5-12; may be adapted for younger siblings. 243 pages, softcover, spiral-bound.
