What Homeschoolers Are Saying About Maths POWER

1st May 2007

Hi, just wanted to send you a quick note to say thanks for the "showbag" of goodies which you sent out with our recent order. As you can expect, the kids loved it!

One of the fantastic things about Mathspower is that all the lessons and questions are set out in an ordered fashion and the tutorials are quite easily understood by our children which means that my involvement is not as onorus as it was when we were doing maths out of a book. With four kids this is naturally a huge bonus! The kids actually have mentioned that they like the "self-disciplined" nature of the program as well.

The flow of the lessons seems to work well with the kids as well. Each of the lessons are a very workable length and there is not a lot of meaningless repetitive work.

One of our daughters was struggling with maths before we started the Mathspower program but her attitude and self confidence with Maths has improved to the extent that she even sometimes looks forward to doing her maths lessons for the day. (sometimes!)

The program allows the children to work at whichever level they are at, and the encouragement awards at half way and the end of each level are a good incentive booster for the kids.

This program works for us as homeschoolers with 4 kids and therefore limited time!

My children are now being home educated after spending years at school. From becoming quite disinterested in maths, getting decreasingly lower marks in school and not understanding each level sufficiently enough before having to move on to the next in high school, I have been impressed by my children's reactions to your program since purchasing it.

Some days my younger son voluntarily does FOUR lessons a day and is pleased that he is getting a very high percentage, so far, in all of the tests. I don't think I need to say that his Mum is pretty pleased too!

To see a child regain interest and enthusiasm and WANTING to do maths, is pretty darn wonderful to my mind. Thank you!

Josiah - Enjoys doing his maths each day. Has found Maths POWER very helpful in creating a daily programme for his maths and has improved.

David - Improved with the system and has only had to re-do a few as he is really learning well.

Grace - The biggest improver with her maths. Loves doing her Maths POWER each day.

The kids do not do any exams as they are homeschooled. Annette and I love the Maths POWER system as it was recommended to us by another home school family.

“As you know we educate our seven children at home, so I suppose our experience will be somewhat different to the average parent who sends their children to school. However it is not difficult to see the benefits would be just as far reaching.

From a home schooling perspective, we considered one of the great advantages of the program would be to free up time for my wife. This has in fact occurred though to a greater degree than we hoped. Now that two children at a time are doing their mathematics in automatic pilot as it were, requiring very little supervision, much more time can be spent with the other children and their various subjects. This has proved invaluable, as all the children in all subjects progress. Possibly the most enjoyable bonus however, for our children at least, is that they are as enthusiastic five months into the program at all levels, as they were at their initial encounter. With your experience, you would no doubt recognise the tremendous benefit when students are actively enthusiastic with regards their endeavors.

Bobbie also say’s the program has streamlined the organisation of the schoolroom. She considers she is much more organised, and this in itself is reassuring for her. You have seen our set up on your visit. I have always considered it about as sharp a home school set up can be. It ran like clockwork. Your program however has vastly improved it’s functionality and I have no doubt having done this, will improve the outcome for all our children over the entire spectrum of the subjects studied here.

It has already been of great benefit, and we are sure more benefits are yet untapped. We are then grateful to you for your assistance and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial association.”
