Free Homeschool Math Curriculum

Math seems to be one of the subjects that most homeschool moms dread, with science running a close second. I actually love math, though I didn’t love teaching it for the longest time. It wasn’t until I realized that math isn't some secret code that needs to be deciphered that I began to enjoy math with my kids.

It's actually very natural for most children to learn math concepts, and if you graduated high school, you can absolutely teach math.

I spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the “right” math curriculum. I was terrified that I wasn’t going to teach it correctly and my children were going to be so behind where they should be.

I needn’t have worried so much.

Do you know what all of that curriculum I bought had in common? It all taught the same things, in pretty much the same order. The only difference was in the method of delivery. Some were very worksheet oriented, while others were very hands-on, and still others used a combination of both. Some used a spiral method and some used a mastery approach.

Regardless of what method is used to teach it, math is math.

You can spend LOTS of money trying to find the best math for your family. But you don’t have to. #homeschoolmath #homeschooling

You don't need an expensive curriculum to teach math. There is no “right” way to teach it, but there is a way that works best for you and your children. Trust me when I say, you can spend LOTS of money before you figure out what that is.

But you don’t have to.

I’ve put together a list of some of the best free math programs available. All were completely free at the time of writing. If you find one that is no longer free, please let me know.
