Family Membership from CTCMath: A TOS Crew Review

CTCMath

Family Membership from CTCMath 

Nothing makes a homeschool mom cry more than math... but, I have a solution to the tears!  We have been using our Family Membership from CTCMath - and homeschool families get  - 60% off + 6 bonus months.  (Or, try a free trial!)   Dry your tears, and start cheering, math help is on the way!


CTCMath

CTC is a online subscription program with access to over 1400 core curriculum math lessons from Kindergarten to Trigonometry! 

We have been using this program for the past several years for all my testers... grades K-12. 

The Family Membership allows up to 10 students.  YEAH!  Finally a program that works for my entire family.

This program is very easy to use.  As a parent, you can log in and customize the level for your child, set the minimum percentage correct to advance, and even get weekly email progress updates.

I like being able to see all my student's progress in one place.  

When your student logs in, they can decide which topic they wish to work on (or on which lesson you assigned in your parent dashborad)  You can pinpoint particular skills.  They can easily see which topics they have mastered, and which may need some more work.  Lessons can be repeated as needed.



We like to use CTCMath as a supplement and reinforcement alongside our regular program.  This is working wonders on improving their math skills!


It's hard to find supplemental programs for high school math, but they are all included in CTCMath's subscription.


My testers have worked in most of the levels. 


Within each grade - topics are listed.  Each topic offers diagnostic tests to help determine exactly where the student is, and what they need help with. 


Each lessons offer short video explanations/demonstrations of the skill being taught.  Most of these are under 10 minutes and can be paused, and replayed. 


After watching the video, the student answers questions to determine mastery.  I have set 80% as our passing grade.  If they need to repeat a lesson, they can.  This is a great way to help them target and master skills without just moving on.


Many lessons offer printable worksheets, but my testers always prefer the computer time to another worksheet. For grades K-8,  CTCMath can be used as core curriculum, they do recommend it as a supplement in the more advanced grades. 


CTCMath

Another great feature is that we can move around from grade to grade, or topic to topic.  My testers mainly use this to keep reviewing skills they have learned.  It's also been helpful for them to see slightly different presentations of problems, something that they can't get in a regular program.


CTCMath offers a variety of subscription programs - individual, family, monthly or yearly.  I highly recommend it as a great value for a big family like mine!
