I found something else for homeschooling that seems to be working well. The kids have never done very well with memorizing their math facts. I have seen Calculadders in various catalogs for years. I finally decided to try them and they work really well.
It's a quick speed drill for math facts. Each one page drill is designed to be finished in 2-3 minutes. You do the same page over and over until it is completed in the time frame and without error. The kids still enjoy them, even though we've been doing them a couple of months. And, they're actually making progress.
You can buy Calculadder books, but I bought them on CD. It's really easy. Each morning, I simply print up one worksheet for each kid. They do the worksheet and I correct them. The program provides a great record keeping sheet for their progress also, so I have it all at my fingertips.
