Math is a beautiful thing. It is a universal language, it exists in nature, and we not only use much of it in our every-day life, it is a part of so many fun and interesting careers.

Sometimes it can be frustrating, but there are countless resources out there to help. Everyone learns at their own pace, so it can be hard to find the one book or worksheet that works right for your child and your homeschool math curriculum.



That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our best homeschool math products. From traditional to experimental and core to supplemental – we’ve got it all. Go ahead and choose which grade level is right for your child, and remember that if they need help or are advanced, all of these products can be used outside of their grade level!

Life of Fred Elementary Math

It’s no secret as to why the Life of Fred Elementary Math books are some of our best sellers. These non-traditional math books don’t focus on memorization and drills, and rather teach using funny and clever anecdotes from the point of view of Fred, a child math genius. The best part is there is a Fred book for every year of elementary math, ranging from simple addition and subtraction to long division.



I had seen reviews before saying parents had to literally stop their children from doing math. I thought “No way that’s true”. Well I take it back. My 7 year old has sped through the first book in the series and I literally had to hold him back.
