Learn Math Fast Program For Schools
May 8, 2017 - I have had the opportunity to use the Learn Math Fast system with 4 of my kids. High School, Older, and Struggling to Graduate Students.
I’m a Math Geek. And honestly, I want my kids to be Math Geeks too. So, I’m always looking for good Math resources – curriculum, story books, STEM projects, ANYTHING Math! So, I was totally excited when I learned about the – and given the opportunity to review it. So here is the Learn Math Fast System Review from How to Homeschool.
Normally, when I do a review, I start out with info about the company and then go into what I like about a product (and what I don’t like). But this time, I’m going to mix things up a bit. That’s because Learn Math Fast has A LOT to offer, and as a result, this review is a tad long. Honestly, I’m worried you might not read to the end for all the reasons why we love it. SO – FIRST I’m going to ooh and ahh a bit – and then I’m going to follow up with general info.
A little backwards, but bear with me. So, here are many of the reasons our family loves the Learn Math Fast System: • The system focus on MATH – just MATH – and covers different MATH subjects in a logical, sequential order.
I’m a fan of logical and sequential. • The books give thorough explanations and lots of examples. Concepts are easy to grasp. • The books are self-directing – the system encourages independent learning. I LOVE to encourage independent learning – that’s one of the main reasons I’m homeschooling. So, these books are a total fit for our family.
• Because the books are self-directing, there’s no need for an instructor or a Teacher’s Handbook (although you are involved, especially with Vol I). • All the answers and complete solutions are in the back of each book. If your child isn’t grasping a concept, having the full solution REALLY helps! At least it does at our house! • Students are encouraged to look at the answers in the back of the book and to learn from their mistakes. Again, this reinforces independent learning.
• Students are encouraged to spend as much time on a lesson as they need – and to repeat lessons when necessary. Again independence (and self-evaluation/judgement) are being taught. I appreciate it when my daughter says, “I really need to look at this lesson again.” It seems so mature to me. • With this system, a student can advance several grade levels in just one school year.
That’s absolutely amazing! An older student can complete six books in about one year, but it may take several years for a younger student to learn all the material. (Of course, everyone is different, so the actual time line varies between students.) One of my kids is studying for the SAT and being able to cover so much material so quickly – and so effectively – well, it’s just wonderful! • After completing Volumes I-VII, a student is good-to-go and ready to take the SAT, ACT, GED, or any College Placement test. • This is a system that can grow with your child – if your child likes Vol I, she can easily move to Vol II, etc. I always want resources that can grow with my child.
Continuity is a plus. • It works for all kids – whether they’re behind or gifted. It works for parents too! (I needed a Geometry refresher.) • It works for all learning styles.
This is so important when homeschooling kids that have different learning styles – like mine. Integrand emx user manual. I’m sure your kids have different learning styles too. I admit it – I love these little stick figures! There’s no reason to include them in the review – except that they make me smile 🙂 • I’m a fan of manipulatives and supplemental resources – if I LOVE a program, I frequently want all the extras to complement it. So, as you can guess, I’m totally thrilled with the Geometry Kit, the Smart Cards and the Big Big Bookmark. (Technically, these aren’t extras – they come with the program – but you can purchase extras – and we have!) • It’s an economical program because the books can be re-used – one set can be purchased for an ENTIRE FAMILY! You can print and tests from the website – and the site also offers extra free.
I actually like my kids having their own workbook – even though it’s more expensive – but I understand the value of having one set work for an ENTIRE FAMILY. • The books are a good price/good value. You can purchase all seven volumes, Grades 1 – 12, for $289 or you can purchase the books individually for around $50 each. And they have an introductory offer – Buy Volume I for $45 and get Volume 2 for only $10 more – plus free shipping!
