We have bounced around with math since the beginning, which isn’t unusual, but still not ideal for someone who prefers a good rhythm. I could tell it wasn’t working well for us when math lessons began to get met with dug in heels and sometimes even tears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To combat this, we spent the past two years using e-Singapore<\/a> with the results I was hoping for: that a microdose of math (roughly 10 minutes per day) every <\/em>day with the help of simple animated videos. It worked! This approach made math less intimidating, my kids progressed, and the tears stopped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, entering 6th grade and 4th grade<\/a>, I was ready to step things up in the math department. I felt my kids were ready for a challenge and I was ready to move on to a solid, highly-acclaimed math curriculum as we entered middle school. After a lot of review reading and crowd sourcing, I decided on Saxon<\/a>, a rigorous spiral approach. It’s seen as the gold standard by many, with the only downside being lengthy, dry lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t thrilled with that description, but was wanting that feeling of a solid curriculum. Enter- Nicole the Math Lady<\/a>! A simple and straightforward solution that is singlehandedly making the lives of homeschool moms easier and more enjoyable with her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Nicole the Math Lady?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nicole is a cheerful and down to earth woman with a passion for coming up with fun ways for making math “stick” for kids. She is a Stanford graduate, a former math tutor, and a mom herself. She teaches with ease with nothing but a white board and a dry erase marker. It’s nothing flashy, but yet her style is effective in keeping kids engaged and lessons clearly understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Nicole’s Program Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nicole the Math Lady is a subscription based service. You sign up for a year at a time with a single level coarse, though you can switch your child’s assigned level if you were to need to level up or down during the year. She offers plans for a single student starting at $59\/year, or enroll up to 5 of your children for a family bundle price of $99\/year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each child gets an individual log in page with easy access to their level. After logging in, the child selects their current lesson number (or you can search by topic) and the corelating videos pop up. Nicole provides short, clear videos explaining math concepts with a whiteboard and a marker. Lessons are compromised of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
