Secular Math Curriculum Homeschool

Math curriculum should be all be secular right? What about math requires a religious view point? That’s what I thought at least, but there are curriculum out there that do have religious material included. You aren’t going to find those list below. Instead you are going to find secular math curriculum that anyone can use.

How do you choose a math curriculum that is going to work for your family? Here are some things to look for:

secular / religious view
digital or print
independent learning or guided learning
common core or non-common core
availability – these are available in Canada

Secular curriculum only discusses religious beliefs from an anthropological perspective. It is not faith-neutral (this becomes important especially when discussing science and history curricula). It does not posit biblical/religious beliefs as historical fact.

What I look for in Math Curriculum

For me, math is one of those subjects where I’m not really looking for fun learning, but for them to get the best non-common core education that I can get them. I also look for independent lessons.

We are using Teaching Textbooks for grades four and six, this is our third year using this program, and I don’t see us switching away from it anytime soon as we love it.

For grade two we are using CTCMath. I love it for this grade. I wish I had known about it before now. Gauge, almost seven, loves using it, and has become completely independent in his math lessons…. unless he needs help.
