Some curriculum just seems timeless. Everyone seems to know about it and love it, the books occupy treasured spots on our shelves and we warmly recommend them to our friends and family. It’s easy to forget that even those beloved resources were once new and those treasured spots were bare. Some of our resources this month may be old favorites in your family, while others may be  new favorites waiting to be discovered. We hope that you will take the time to explore these products, spend time with them and possibly discover a new addition to your treasures.

Victus Study Skills System
 
Study Smarter, Not Harder
Do your students really know how to study? Studying is something all students are expected to do, but seldom are they taught effective methods.
Victus Study Skills System is a systems approach to study. Mastering isolated skills might achieve high test scores, but long-term success comes when students view studying as a way of life. Help prepare your students in:
  • Organization, time management, goal setting
  • Note taking, test taking 
  • Reading comprehension 
  • Improving existing habits & learning new ones 
  • Studying smarter, not harder 

Victus helps students succeed in academics 

and in life!
Cathy Duffy says . . .

 

 

 
“Effective study skills are essential for academic excellence, but few students are taught an explicit system for developing study skills. Most flounder around, gradually developing their own methods that might be more or less effective. The Victus Study Skills System is about developing effective study skills and achieving academic goals, but it also helps students apply the same process to other areas of their life such as faith and finances. ‘Victus’ is the Latin word for ‘way of life,’ and students are taught that planning in all areas of life is important.”

Math seems so straightforward, doesn't it? Numbers, patterns, formulas, and procedures all so clearly laid out with rules for each problem that just have to be learned and followed. Easy. Until you have a child and a math program that aren't a good match for each other and then the whole thing changes! If you are looking for a new fit, or even just need to shake things up a little and add some excitement to your math day, take a look at these great offers.

Math-U-See

 
Math-U-See is a complete K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach math concepts. We "Build Understanding" in students with a multi-sensory, mastery-based approach suitable for all levels and learning styles.

 

Our curriculum is organized into levels, not grades, so that students can be placed and proceed according to individual ability. When students demonstrate mastery of a concept, they are ready to move on to the next concept. Math-U-See is designed to teach students specific skills that build as the student progresses. This systematic and cumulative approach uses a definite, logical sequence of concept instruction.
The Math-U-See system is structured with step-by-step procedures for introducing, reviewing, practicing, and mastering concepts. Each lesson teaches through multi-sensory tools such as videos, manipulatives, and other resources, designed to appeal to any type of learner.
Our new online placement tools help you place your students accurately in the Math-U-See curriculum, with immediate feedback. More than just right and wrong, these assessments are a combination of written assessment and an "interview" in which you, the parent, can determine how well your student understands the concepts.
Visit our website to learn more about our curriculum, see demonstration videos, and take the new online placement tests.
