Little Bits of Life: CTCMath Homeschool Membership Review

We loved CTCMath so much last year that we are doing it again this year. We received a CTCMath Homeschool Membership. This year I am using the 4th grade level with my brand new 4th grader and the 2nd grade level with my second grader. But since ya'll know we already love CTCMath and there method of teaching. I want to focus on the updates to the program and the new features that we love the most. There have been some improvements and this teaching mommy likes what she sees.

First up I am still very pleased with the content that is taught for each grade level. From what I can tell it covers GLE for our state and in some areas a little more than would be required. That being said every child learns differently and every program works differently for each child. CTCMath happens to work very well for both my girls. One who loves math the other not so much. The short and to the point teaching method works for both of them.

My first favorite new feature is the ability to set TASK for each child. That's right teaching mommy's we can now assign tasks. No more guess and by golly about the days assignments. I now have the ability to assign task to each child for each day. You can even assign the assessments. When you assign an assignment you are given two choices A: Student needs to attempt all questions and reach their pass grade to complete the lesson(s) or B: Student needs to attempt all questions to complete the lesson(s) Since we practice mastery I almost always use option A. For things we are doing for review I will some times select option B. The Task section is probably my most favorite new feature. Because it makes my life easier on the days I have to work. The kids can just click the task tab and find what they need to do for the day. I also can set it to get a notification in my email me the Task Report when the task falls due. This hole Task feature gets an A+ in my book and I am so glad they decided to add it to the program.

I still love the reports you can get detailed reports or just simple ones. You can even download them as a PDF and save them or print them. I print for the sake of having hard copies for portfolios. The reports are easy to understand and look very professional compared to some I have seen.

I like the new lay out of the student accounts. I believe the font is a little bigger. My girls say it is easier to navigate. You click a grade then a topic then a lesson. It's straight forward but since we now have that handy dandy Task feature the kids just hit the task tab and click on the task with that days date on it.

I always try to ad something to the review that my girls LOVE about the product. This time they had a bit of a discussion on what they wanted me to say. They finally decided on the new ability to customize each students account. They now have color choices for the background. You can go with a pre-selected color combination or you can choose two colors of you own. For some reason the ability to choose there own color background and accent color makes this CTCMath a keeper. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the looks on there faces when I showed them they could choose a color. The colors really are fun and just make the class a little more enjoyable for them.

I want to give a big THANK YOU to CTCMath for these great new features. THANK YOU for making Homeschooling easier.
