CTC Math–A Review

     CTC Math was gracious to give our family their 12-month Family Plan to use for purpose of review.  With materials available for unlimited use for grades K-12, CTC Math is a phenomenal find!  The subscription plan we have been using is for up to ten students and includes unlimited access to all of the CTC Math resources.  It is sale-priced as of the publication of this post at $118.80. 

What exactly is CTC Math? 

     This is an innovative and comprehensive math curriculum that is online. We have been using the Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 coursework.  My daughter is working her way through Algebra 1.  Being in 8th grade, she is much more independent in her studies now.  With CTC Math, I can set up through my parent’s page the grade she must receive on her lessons in order to advance.  I can also see when and for how long she has logged onto the program.  I get weekly progress reports on all of my kids and certificates to print for them when they reach a goal.  Since Caitlyn is working independently, I assign the number of lessons she needs to complete each week and I monitor her progress throughout the week. She simply logs in, goes to the lesson(s) for the day, watches the brief video presentation, and completes the interactive work.  She or I can print worksheets if she needs to actually write on something to make a concept easier to understand.  Also, there are brief note-sheets available to print for each lesson.  This is awesome for a learner, like my daughter, who likes to have something in her hand to look at while she is working.  The only snag we have run into is the calculator requirement on some of her lessons.  We haven’t been able to locate a calculator with the features specified in the lesson, so we simply moved on to the next lessons and I showed her how to complete the problems by hand. 

     With my son, he is reviewing Algebra 1 and Geometry in preparation for his ACT and he has been working steadily through Algebra 2.  He works independently like my daughter does.  He is moving more quickly through the lessons and will be moving into Trigonometry soon.  Both James and Caitlyn love the video lessons because they can replay anything that they need to hear/see again.  They also love the short length of the lessons.  The video lessons are ‘animated’ and narrated so visual and audio learners can grasp the concepts being taught. 

     We have enjoyed CTC Math so much that is is going to be our sole math curriculum from now on.  My kids have even asked to have more curriculum in this format.  They love it.  User-friendly, easy-to-follow, thorough, and fun – what more could you ask for in a math program.  When my kids voluntarily do their math assignments, I definitely know the program is a winner!
