OVERVIEW

      No finer course material for math has been found!  Particularly for any one-on-one tutorial environment such as home schooling, at home under the tutelage of a trusted  tutor or nanny, or enrolled in a special charter school where the education of your children is a joint venture between parent and school. We have found these new worktexts as the only consumable math texts on the market published for the public and non religious private schools that include all the concepts typically found in hard bound basils! The advantages of these worktexts over all other curriculum are numerous. This is the only series that meets all the criteria we established for selecting curriculum. For example, since there are only a little over 300 pages, not including tests and activities, there is plenty of time to review any concepts not readily understood. While there are a few other worktext series on the market that closely match the general description as the one adopted by Curriculum Services they are actually designed for remedial students, despite the fact that this point is not always highlighted. This matter is addressed due to concern that certain concepts are lacking and feedback from parents who used those (remedial) worktexts report that when their children returned to the classroom they were ill prepared for standard grade-level work. This is in stark contrast to the worktexts adopted by Curriculum Services which were selected because, under your guidance, you can lead your children to higher levels of mathematical achievement and critical thinking skills, and according to feedback from parents and students, in less than half the time. The achievement levels of students using our adopted texts shows levels years ahead. While we can also provide anything including "remedial" worktexts like that described above plus the popular math textbooks so widely distributed among the home schooling community (consumable for lower level elementary and hardbound for mid-level and above). We refrain from doing so as we are committed to providing only the best of the best. Our goal is to provide curriculum that has the potential to bring your child to greater levels of achievement, at less time and for less cost. We find that children are happier when they achieve their goals and have time left over for fun. This is our third year with this program adopting the course material shortly after its release.
      This is the only math text for these levels that we have found meets all our criteria. First and foremost on our list is curriculum must be visually appealing but not too "busy". (Check out our sample pages below and see for yourself.) It must also have student appeal while being as self-instructing as possible. In addition it must be comprehensive and adaptable to different learning styles. Because we specialize in providing write-in texts for our text supported courses we focus first on consumable text books and then, in all fairness, compare them to their hard-bound counterparts. We were delighted to discover, once again, that these consumable texts came in first place in all categories. Because the teacher's edition was not cost effective a teacher's manual has been created for you. There is also a little known trend coined by it's opponents as the "New New Math" that we watch out for. For more information see our article Math Matters. If after reading Math Matters you want to learn more on this subject we have an outstanding article that can be sent to you via fax or E mail. As stated earlier, this math series meets all our criteria! See below.

In addition, course materials whether consisting of one component or several together must offer a balanced amount of work. If, for example, there is not enough course material it cannot be comprehensive enough, while too much creates another host of problems. These include not allowing enough time to cover all the concepts, going over concepts not readily understood, or hands-on activities. There is also the problem of student and teacher burn-out, in addition to not having enough time for recreation and other family activities. Parent and student feedback is very positive in this regard. See articles SACC, One Subject a Day, and Testing.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING
Our researched based math program has arrived! It provides focused instruction, practice, review and maintenance in the concepts and skills important at your grade level. Its teaching strategies and assessment techniques that are based on over 25 years of confirmed research are proven to be effective with all students. The components reflect the explicit instruction model with an emphasis on clear instructional models, guided and independent practice, and on-going assessment. Carefully sequenced lessons in the student worktext build understanding and mastery. Problem solving and reasoning skills are emphasized through out. 
     The teacher's manuals were designed by Curriculum Services to be easy to use as it provides plenty of support whether you are new to the role as instructor or a veteran. This support includes complete answers for the student worktext and test book plus two schedules to match your teaching style: a weekly schedule and a day to day schedule. Also included is a ledger size (11" X 17") schedule for "Student Central". Student Central is a bulletin board housing all student course schedules, attendance sheets, Daily Plan Book and so fourth. Its purpose is to foster independence and easing your load. Despite their outstanding features this math series, outside our programs, are virtually unknown in the homeschool community. There are several legitimate reasons for this. They are listed below.

 1)   Because this text is primarily marketed for the public school system the teacher's edition and test masters are not cost effective
      for parent educators, rendering them impractical in this setting. That all changes however, when they are part of a complete
      program with tests and teacher support materials provided by Curriculum Services.  
 2)  While their are some other publisher's who actively market their math texts to homeschoolers, this one does not.  
 3)  The optional CD Rom we offer cannot be purchased on an individually basis. 
 4)  This text is little known as the company does not carry a great deal of texts commonly used by home educators.
