Product: CapJaxMathFax Software

Price: $29.95 download for up to 10 users

Recommended Ages: Anyone learning math facts

Do you have children learning their math facts? Do you want to sharpen your own?

With CapJackMathFax your children can just practice, or they can challenge their own previous scores. They can work with one operation at a time or mix all four together.

They are getting positive reinforcement with their accomplishments.

As teacher/mom of many children I love that I can go to the teacher side and see all that they are doing, what they are progressing in and what they are struggling with.

In my opinion and for the price it is a hands down WINNER! For one child it is a deal, so for many it is even better.

We are very happy with the selections we made on the Go Science DVD’s and very possibly will be purchasing the remaining 4 DVD’s.

These videos are geared towards elementary aged children, however, when my teens are around they will stop and watch them. It has also got the teens interested in doing some other experiments and telling the youngers about similar things they have learned in the past.

These are not a curriculum, but fun to add to what you are already studying.

Product: Judah Bible Curriculum

Price: $44.00 download or $74.00 hard copy

Recommended Ages: This is a Teacher Tool

We received the following from Judah Bible Curriculum via a download:

1) Judah Bible Curriculum K-12 Manual, e-book format to download;
2) Elementary Notebook Ideas booklet to view online or download;
3) Eight-lecture Teacher Training Seminar. listen online or download.

Judah Bible Curriculum is based on the Principle Approach to study the Bible. By using the Bible with this approach you go through the Bible year after year growing in knowledge as you dig deeper each year.

I guess I expected a curriculum and not some guidelines to develop one by. I have gone through the materials provided as listed above and have had difficulty in knowing what to do.

The Manual has scripture references for each year, there are also Key Reference Sheets to use and examples of how to use them.

I can see how if you have an organized mind and you were just starting with your young children. This could be a blessing as they build a journal for them to reflect on from year to year, what a blessing to see the growth and the wisdom they obtain.

Or if you have an only child, or just a couple of children.

As a large family with children ranging from 6 – 18, it has been very difficult to implement for this mom with an unorganized mind. I seem to need a game plan to start, I do not develop well.

If you thrive in preparing lesson plans and putting together programs, this has the scriptures and outline and the idea, go for it.  Take some time to look at their Scope and Sequence, it is well done.

Building Godly character into our children is what I hope to accomplish in my children, and I hope that is your desire as well.

Product: Mathematical Reasoning Level F

Price: $42.99, on SALE $37.99

Recommended Ages: Grade 5

The Critical Thinking Co. is one of those companies that every time I look at their products, I wonder how do they do so good all the time. The only thing that I have difficulty with is there products are pretty busy and some of my children do better with plain old black and white, so I have to watch out for that.

A while back I was able to review Language Smarts-Level 3 and you can find it on my Blog, if you have a chance check it out.

This time around we are getting to look at Mathematical Reasoning-Level F, this is considered Grade 5.  I have a young man that has finished up his math for the year and he was been and will continue by working his way through this 413 page paperback book, he is using it to prepare for his testing this year.

This book is designed so that it can be used as the Math Core Curriculum or as a Supplemental Resource. If you would like to check out some different pages and the Table of Contents here is where to LOOK. I love the variety  that is included and we are hoping to find some holes in what we have already done and if not, he will strengthen his skills. There is no Teacher preparation and the answers are included at the end of the book.

To look at this or purchase, just click HERE! The Critical Thinking Co. has many great products so plan on spending some time looking around.
