Ensure Success in Algebra 1 with Math Essentials

Teaching homeschool math can be overwhelming to many. Upper-level math can bring even the strongest homeschoolers to their knees. If math does not come naturally to you or your students, there is no need to fear or become discouraged. Math Essentials has a Mastering Essential Math Series that has come to your rescue!

Rick Fisher was a math instructor for thirty-one years in California. He has devoted his time and efforts to developing unique math materials. Rick is a winner of the prestigious “Intel Innovations in Teaching Award”. He also won the Glenn W. Hoffmann Exemplary Awards Program for all of Silicon Valley in California. In his teaching experience, Mr. Fisher noticed a huge need to bridge the gap in middle school math. Many students were jumping straight into Algebra without the necessary building blocks. His materials have helped countless students improve their understanding and grades!

The lessons in the Math Essentials Math Skills Series are designed to make homeschool math fun and exciting with short and concise lessons. With consistent review built in, students are able to gain confidence as they build the skills necessary to have success in math.
