Welcome to Math on the Level, a complete K-8 homeschool math curriculum for the whole family.  Designed for the home learning environment, this well-tested curriculum equips you to teach any math concept from pre-K through pre-algebra and give your children a strong foundation in math. Math on the Level combines math instruction with meaningful, hands-on experiences using normal daily-life activities that help make math real. Although topics are grouped and ordered logically, you have the flexibility to change the sequence to meet the needs of your children and your family. In place of the typical focus on grade level, parents are encouraged to teach to the child's maturation level matching the instruction pace to the child's ability to learn. A thorough, easy-to-use record keeping system helps track each child's progress.  To facilitate long term retention of math, the curriculum uses an innovative 5-A-Day system to give individualized, ongoing practice at a pace adjusted to each child's need, but using fewer daily math problems.

Math on the Level breaks out of one-size-fits-all approach of typical classroom instruction.

The Math on the Level approach

• To make math real, the teaching guides and Math Adventures emphasize teaching math through practical, family-life experiences. With Math on the Level, life is your classroom!
• Because each child is unique, math instruction is focused to each child's maturation level and learning pace, not age or grade level.
• To address different learning styles, more than one teaching approach is included for difficult concepts, drawing from a background of homeschool instruction and teaching special education classes in public school.
• Because you control the sequence and are teaching math through life, you can teach different-aged children together if desired and take advantage of life's teaching moments (and include math in unit studies).
• A complete record keeping system helps you plan and keep track of each child's math instruction.
• Instead of the typical (one-size-fits-all) set of 30 daily practice problems, the Math on the Level 5-A-Day review system lets you tailor review to each child's level of need, giving the right amount of practice without busywork.
• To ensure long-term retention, every learned math concept is practiced continually over time.

The benefits to using the Math on the Level approach

• Teaching math through life helps the child's comprehension – family lifestyle learning!

• The Teaching Guides are written to make it easy to teach any math concept, even if you aren't confident with math.
• The flexibility of the curriculum adapts well to different teaching approaches and changing family needs.
• Children who previously were bored or frustrated with math start looking forward to math time (and greatly appreciate the 5-A-Day reviews).

• A thorough getting started process identifies and helps fill any gaps in your child's understanding of all previously taught math concepts.
• The 5-A-Day system provides regular practice over time with all math concepts to ensure long-term retention without gaps (and without busywork).

What Math on the Level isn't

• A one-size-fits-all curriculum where the same teaching scripts, sequence, and quantity of practice problems are used for all children.
• An approach where math is presented only as a series of abstract, pencil and paper concepts.
• A scripted program where you are always told exactly what to say.
• A video approach where someone else teaches your child.
• A textbook approach with a prescribed scope and sequence for each grade.
• A self-instruction approach where the child learns math from reading a textbook or workbook and works independently (although older children and adults using Math on the Level for review may be able to use the curriculum this way).
