I must admit that math is NOT my strong subject.  Thank goodness my husband "shines" in this area!!   Still, with daily life and making ends meet our time can become limited.  I would love to say I'm one of those families that have it ALL together  You know, ...Clean house, dinner always ready on time, the prefect homeschool schedule, etc.

I needed help and I'm not ashamed to say it.  The 2 items I have found that made a BIG difference with my children are:

1. The Quarter Mile.  The children can pick if they want to horse race or car race their way into learning math facts.  I just love this program and I have the children spend 30 minutes every other day doing different math drills.  http://www.thequartermile.com/
2. Teaching Textbooks.  This is like having a tutor at the push of a button.  My youngest child does math first thing in the morning now, where she would hide when I told her it was time for math.  I feel this was a wonderful investment for our family.  They have animated lectures with lots of real-world applications.  There is audiovisual solutions for every single problem.  The feature I like best is their automated grading on homework and quiz problems.  http://www.teachingtextbooks.com/

Remember... Not every product will work with every child.  This is something that helped our family and I'm sharing with you.  Take a look if you are troubled with math and evaluate their products for yourself.
Blessings,
