CTC Math has a clear scope and sequence of the mathematics concepts taught in each grade level.  My oldest daughter who is using grade 6 appreciates the video instruction that is provided while my youngest daughter who is using grade 4 appreciates the fact that she doesn’t have to write as much along with having shorter lessons than traditional math texts.  I appreciate the fact that I will less likely get behind in grading since CTC keeps track of the girls’ progress for me.  I am able to use this information to pull out the mathematical concepts which need further development if they do not do well on a particular topic.  This will also help them from becoming frustrated from repeatedly doing multiple problems of skills that they are able to confidently solve or have mastered.

ArtAchieve offers instruction using a variety of methods.  This is one thing that I really like about the program.  The girls are able to watch the videos to get step by step verbal and visual instruction, and I was able to use the PowerPoint instruction for my quiet art moments.  Within the one year online membership we received, we have access to both instruction methods along with access to any supplemental materials needed for warm-up exercises or to help create the main project.

VeritasBible.com is completely online.  The program is best used on a desktop or laptop computer due to the screen resolution requirements.  We attempted to use it on a tablet, but it was not having it. JAlthough my youngest daughter made the choice to review VeritasBible.com, I also set up an account for my oldest daughter.  Each of my daughters was able to create their own avatar for the program.  I appreciate the diversity that VeritasBible.com includes in the process.  Setting up VeritasBible.com is really easy.  They both sign in under the same email and password, and simply select their account to work through the biblical paths.  The program is written for students to use independently.

With the onset of warm weather, it never fails for our learning resources to change with the season.  This is particularly true when it comes to mathematics.  This time around we are using LearnBop.  The LearnBop for Families program allows access for both of my daughters with the Family Plan.
