Please does anyone know of a super easy to teach and learn Math curriculum to supplement my son’s education?
He was ahead of the kids when he joined this school but got bored and frustrated and now is really behind. I want some educational tools or some really good ideas to really help him out. He is 13 going on 14 in the 8th grade. Thanks so much…………

The math that is generally taught in the public school is not as well explained by either the teacher or the book.
Their is A Beka math curriculum for both student and teacher available for cheaper on e-bay, but before you price there, do go to www.abeka.com and get their prices so that you know what not to pay for a used book. Used meaning most will not write in the book but on a separate piece of paper. Hope this helps. Good luck and God bless.
I’m going to take the safest route and assume he’s going to have to do this on his own. Saxon explains everything. There’s even a placement test available online http://saxonpublishers.harcourtachieve.com/HA/Resources/ResourceCenter/RCSResults.aspx?type=Content&cState=&cFromGrade=All&cToGrade=All&cTR=true&cfList=37&sovar=37 so you can figure out which level to start him at. If you look clearly at his results and where he’s goofed up, it’ll also tell you specifically which areas are difficult for him.
Teaching Textbooks and Chalkdust both have video components to the lessons for demonstration purposes. This can be very useful if you have a child who does better with a bit of auditory input or visual demonstrations, or both.
Have a look at the information available online, samples available online, have your son look at them and decide which you think would work best.
The other thing you could do is advertise at the high school for math tutors or even ask his math teacher to point out the smartest kid in math class and approach it about tutoring.
Check out Life of Fred books – they are great for self-teaching, fun, and thorough. The first two cover all the pre-algebra you could need, then they have books for Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Geometry, Trigonmetry, and Calculus.
hope i helped
