    We started with Grade 3 Teaching Textbooks - which is excellent. Grade 4 was wonderul as well. Both of my kids really like this method of teaching. It is SO easy to understand, giving step-by-step instructions - as though the teacher is right there with you. Explanations throughout were outstanding. Gradebook is easy to understand. I like that I can have my kids redo a lesson if it didn't go well (the beauty of homeschooling!). I do believe the other reviews - that each grade level might be a bit behind what is taught in public school - but no matter, because what is important for us is that we keep on going...the flow with this program is so good, that as long as we keep going with Teaching Textbooks, it doesn't matter what "grade" the kids are in. Looking forward to Grade 5!

    We received TT Math 4 in the mail. It was so easy to install. My daughter who has been having a hard time understanding math jumped right on it. She loves it. It explains how to do the problem and grades it for me. It also has cute little icons that do different things as you progress, (or not). It you got a problem wrong, you have the option of having it show you how to do it. It frees me up to help my son with his studies. We all just love it. I wish I had started using Teaching Textbooks sooner.

    This is our second year using Teaching Textbooks, and my child loves using it. She begs to "do another math lesson". Very user friendly. We have never had any problems.

    We are one week into our school year with Teaching Textbooks 4 and LOVING IT. I had read raving reviews and thought it would be a great program for my 10-year-old; now after using it a week, I could not be happier with my decision. We decided to bite the bullet and buy new since I worried about the quality of used discs I would find elsewhere. No glitches yet that I can see but lots of little extras that make my son's learning experience so much more fun. I think he is a week ahead in lessons already because he just wants to keep going every day! Hooray for banishing the math tears!

    Though it is a bit pricier than other options, it is so worth it. I have three boys, and so far I have used this on my older two (my youngest will start in a year). Neither of my boys loves math, and this is pretty effective at engaging and teaching them. I do think it is a little below grade level, but that's fine with me and they will just go at their own pace. I believe it would be considered the spiral method which is great at keeping them from getting bored of doing too many of the same type problems in a row. I know that doesn't work for every kid, but so far I love Teaching Textbooks! It also frees me up to do one-on-one with my kids and teach subjects that I like better.

    I love Teaching Textbooks! Math was so frustrating for me to teach, I am so thankful to have this program. Some people find it expensive...the program itself, I find very reasonable. I can continue to use it with future children. Though, I think the workbooks are a bit pricey. I think it is slightly below grade level, although that works well for our family. There are not a lot of drills, which I wish they would add for struggling students. If your student is excellent in Math, you may need to buy a grade or two ahead. Aside from the lack of drilling, I am VERY HAPPY with Teaching Textbooks 4.

    Math was my least favorite subject when I was in school and consequently, is my least favorite subject to teach.
    Teaching Textbooks is a life saver! My son is now in complete control of his own math lessons and we both love it. The lectures are thorough (without being boring) and there is a good mix of both practice and application.
    I would suggest taking the placement test prior to selecting the grade level. My son is 8 and in 3rd grade, but tested into 4th grade TT math. The math program we were previously using (BJU) was a little more advanced than this program.

    I homeschool 4 children. Three are classic textbook learners. My 9 year is not. Which led to alot of frustration and feeling of failure on both of our parts. This math is truly a God send!! She loves the software and is actually EXCITED about doing the work. It has given her a confidence that she CAN learn (especially when she sees her siblings accelling while she struggles). If your child is an audio learner, rather than a visual, this is the solution. My only complaint is that there aren't any other subjects available through Teaching Text.

    Teaching Textbooks is a great program. We finally found a math my daughter enjoys and learns from. We have tried dozens of programs and she struggled and struggled. This program helps her enjoy as she learns and is very thorough.

    WONDERFUL program. My son took the placement test on the publishers website. We've tried ABeka, Switched-On and now Teaching Textbooks. I asked my son his opinion and his response was "it's better than the other ones". Some of the reviews seem to be misleading in that they imply that TT lags behind other curriculum. However, anyone wanting to use this particular math curriculum should always administer a placement test prior to using it for their child. Perhaps those who seem to feel negative about this program would benefit from this. Also, one review implies your child won't go anywhere in life if they use this program, including college. This simply isn't true. Our 19 year old son attended public High School on an IEP for math and reading. He attends College, 2nd year and will become a Firefighter. He may someday save lives, maybe yours yet his math is not good. To this day he only does basic math... even in college. Don't be discouraged... Luke 1:37 Our children are a gift from the Lord and will grow up to be all HE wants them to be. If your child is advanced, place them in a TT higher grade level math.If your child is below grade level place him/her in a lower TT grade level math. All children function at different levels in most areas, not every child is the same.This program is truly a blessing at our house.

    I have been searching for years to find a math program that works well for my children and I have finally found it. This program allows my children to work independently. So far they have not even come to me for any explanations and the quality of the work they turn in shows they are understanding their math. Also, it doesn't take them long to do the lessons and I am hearing no complaints. The initial cost seems high, but it is well worth it.

    This is amazing. My children love it. Both my 2nd and 4th grader are using the 4th grade Teaching Textbooks. They initiate the lesson and even asked to do it over the weekend. We just started so it's pretty easy. They can do 2 to 3 lessons a day. Also, it's promotes independant learning which is something I have been trying to do for a while. My son has stuggles with math, mostly because he hates the subject and he even loves this. He told me it was his "enemy made easy". Great product so far.

    My daughter just loves this program. She literally begs me to do math now and will typically do more than one lesson a day. The only drawback I have with it, is the lack of repetition. She will do well on the lesson, but then when I go back a couple of days later as a review, she has lost some of it. So we have added daily review - flashcards, quick questions, etc to supplement it.

    I am very happy with this math. I switched to this because of others telling me about it. It has freed me up to have more time with my younger kids. My daughter does it all on her own and as of yet has needed no help from me. She has gone from hating math to loving it! My son is a year younger so he will not switch to T.T. until next year. He watches her and asks why he can't do her math. It is definitely worth the money!
