For elementary math, we use Mastering Mathematics by Letz Farmer as our core curriculum and use mathworksheetsite.com for extra practice and other resources like board games, puzzles, The Multiplication Coloring Book, and math edutainment software for extra practice. Mastering Mathematics is off the beaten path, but I really like the approach and have found it effective for both the kids that are slow in math and those who are gifted with math. Hi Cathy!
