The Answer to a Homeschooling Mom’s Fears. I’m a mom and this year I started homeschooling my 7th grade son. I had always said that I never wanted to homeschool, it was not for me. Continued frustration with the public school system’s "teaching to the test” and reliance on parents filling in the (sometimes large) teaching gaps, made it clear it was something that I should start considering. After all, I was already spending around 2 hours a day at it during homework time. My biggest fear about homeschooling was that I would somehow fail my child, especially when it came to math, my least favorite subject. When I found the Flipped Classroom books in the iTunes store and read up on the philosophy behind them, I was floored. It seemed like a possible solution to my problem. We have now been using the Pre-Algebra for the Flipped Classroom book for four months and love it. It has provided a way for me to quickly and easily brush up on my long-forgotten math skills and, for the first time, my son is really understanding math. He will watch the videos and if he doesn’t quite understand the material, he will watch them again until he does. Each section seems to have an ideal amount of practice problems and he doesn’t feel overwhelmed. The curriculum seems to be on par with what the local public schools are teaching and I’ve recommended it to all the other homeschooling parents I know. If I was going to change anything about the book, I would want a teacher’s edition with all the answers (not just odds) so that I can grade his work quicker and there would be a multiple choice interactive test at the end of each chapter, the way many other interactive digital textbooks do.

10 yrs teaching and finally found a book the book I want. Having taught Pre-Algebra for more than 10 years, it is great to finally have a resource that covers half the content of my curriculum in a manner students understand - video!. The content “speaks” directly to the students in words they can understand, providing straight-forward videos that explain the concepts, practice problems to reinforce the skills, and notes at the end of each section to highlight important content. Used in a flipped-classroom manner, students can be assigned sections to watch and problems to complete, knowing it will be reviewed in class and they will have the opportunity to ask a teacher questions for clarification. Every math teacher using this resource should share it with their colleagues. Give them a lesson and let them see how thorough the instructional videos are and how beneficial it is to expose students to the content before class. Save your precious face-to-face time for applying the concepts instead of lecturing at the board. Work with students to evaluate the lesson content, adding additional notes or secondary content as needed. For me, geometry is often overlooked, so I constructed a unit reviewing the major geometry concepts. The students knew the expectations and lesson requirements but each student could work at their own pace, receiving in-class help if needed but setting their own goals for completion. Mini-quizzes helped me determine the level of student comprehension and pointed out which concepts needed to be more thoroughly reviewed in class, then reassessed. Looking for a new tool. This one does it all and meets several ISTE Standards for Educators: 2c, 4b, 5a, and 7b. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
