CTC Math Review & Information

CTCMath.com has been around since 2001. It originated in Australia, but is also widely used in the U.S. There are 1,400+ CTC Math tutorials that last around 4-9 minutes. CTCMath is designed to be your child's full-time online math teacher.
The curriculum is fully online and each student receives a log-in. Every course is split into parts for easy management. Each topic has tutorials the student can work through. When a student is having difficulty in one area, he or she can watch the tutorial multiple times, skip around, and practice indefinitely.

CTC Math homeschool reviews
Assigning tasks is easy and flexible. The instruction is simple and clear. Grading and record keeping is automatic (except with some geometry, understandably so). You also have access to any and all of the grade levels. This is useful when a child needs to review something or when they can excel past certain sections. The only con I've seen so far is a couple of mild pronunciation differences as the instructor is Australian. If you need a Common Core curriculum, this isn't for you.
My son has tried a lot of programs- he did Singapore for years but got sick of it. After trying a bunch of other things he tried CTC and is doing well with it. It's a full curriculum all the way through high school, and is pretty rigorous. The guy who does it is Australian (like me!), but it matches standards here in the US. There is a homeschool price which is waaaay cheaper than the school price. You can try it free for a week. I don't know how it would be for younger kids - my son is 14 so he mostly works independently of me and he likes the way this guy explains stuff. I found out about it from other homeschooling parents who used it for their high schoolers and were pleased with it.
CTC is truly awesome! We love that we can access all grade levels at once. Paying one fee for as many children as I want to use it with is really awesome. Plus, homeschoolers get a huge discount. Overall, it’s very straightforward and easy to understand. Oh yeah, and NO common core!

###Frequently Asked Questions about CTC ####What is the difference between CTCMath and Khan Academy?
The instruction is similar (voice + examples), but CTC gives your student exercises to complete as well as grades it for the parent. Plus, it keeps track of all the records (lessons watched, lessons completed, grades).
