The Different Kinds of Math Curriculum

The differences in the types of math curriculums come from the different ideas about how math should be taught and understood. Many math curriculums follow a spiral approach. This means that with each new concept, there is plenty of revision of old concepts. Other kinds of curriculums follow a mastery-based approach, with less revision. Some focus more on the student’s problem-solving skills. There are math curriculums that focus on understanding the ‘why’ of math and others that help students understand how math is used in every day life. Some kinds of curriculums use blocks, an abacus, or other such materials to aid understanding and learning. Curriculums for math also differ in terms of the amount of practice problems provided. Before parents choose a home school curriculum for math, they should understand what is different about each curriculum, and then make the decision based on their knowledge of their children.

Support Material for Math Curriculums

When teaching their kids math, parents do not have to rely solely on the mathematics curriculum they or the school has chosen. There are lots of educational resources that can be used to supplement a curriculum. Whether one is looking for worksheets/workbooks for extra practice, math games for added fun, math videos for better explanations, or math websites for more information about a concept, math resources are easily available on the internet. Parents can make use of these resources to give children the extra help they need to master mathematics!
