Math on the Level
This is a neat program! Math can be a concrete subject, which makes it easier to teach a deaf child. But I never underestimate the power of hands on learning! This program leaves all the flexibility and creativity to the parent. The only downside to the whole thing is how much time it took me to prepare lessons. Math isn't my favorite subject and I do better with someone telling me what to teach and when. All that said, this is a great program and quite suitable to a deaf learner. Each book is a different math topic, starting at beginning math and moving into pre-algebra. It is definitely worth the money since it covers K-8th grade! Charts are included to help you organize your math lessons. I do LOVE their 5-a-day idea! Instead of pages of drill sheets, your student just does 5 review questions everyday. This keeps the information fresh in their heads, but doesn't bore them to death with drill sheets.
Grocery Cart math
This is an easy to use, cool book! Because I have yet found a full math curriculum that would fit my daughter well with her other mental (dis)abilities, I piece together a bit of this and that. I have used this book over the years and plan on using it a lot this year.
The idea of the book is to use your regular grocery shopping trips to teach life math skills. It starts with simple things like shapes and sizes, but moves into comparison shopping and using coupons. It is an elementary math book, but that is where my daughter is.
For the price, I definitely recommend it! There are 38 lessons in the book, perfect for one year or stretch it out like I did.
