America's Math Teacher (Review)

My forte is not teaching math. If I could outsource teaching and grading that subject, I'd do it in a heartbeat. So I'm always looking for ways to help teach my children mathematical concepts in spite of me. I was looking forward to reviewing America's Math Teacher to see how it would work with my family.

What is America's Math Teacher?
It is a website available 24/7 with the goal of helping students become proficient in math.

It can be used for:

• A stand alone curriculum with built-in homework assignment
• Intervention programs
• After-School Programs
• Adults who are returning to schools
• Struggling students who need to catch up
• Students who want to get ahead in math
• English language learners

What is available?

Course 1: Basic Math Skills aimed at 4th -5th graders
Course 2: Advanced Math Skills aimed at middle schoolers
Course 3: Pre-Algebra Concepts
Course 4: Algebra

Each one of these courses has videos of  Mr. Fisher teaching the concepts, worksheets to print that correspond to the topic, quizzes, and tests.

What we thought:
We basically started working through Course 1: Basic Math. I had my 10yr. old and 12 yr. old watch the videos and complete some of the worksheets. I really liked the videos. They were short in length, explained the concept well and got to the point. Mr. Fisher did the presentations on a digital white board and encouraged the children to figure out the problems along with him. I also liked that my children had written exercises to do too. These are available to download as PDF files. All the lessons cover a topic, not a little of this concept and that concept. So if your child is having a problem with fractions, you can go and watch and work through all the fraction lessons. This was a big plus for me.

There are also online speed drills to help practice math facts. It was a nice change of math-practice pace for my kids and they liked it.

Right now America's Math Teacher's website is still working on tweaking components on some of the lessons. I think that this site will be a wonderful resource for homeschooling families, especially if you have multiple children that fall into the age-range of this math site.
