About the Episode On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I tackle homeschooling math. It can be an overwhelming subject, so I'm incredibly honoured to chat to a math expert Pat Murray, the creator of our favourite math curriculum, CTCMath. Pat's life is an inspiring tapestry of family values, entrepreneurial success, and educational innovation. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Pat's journey began in the late 1980s as a high-school math teacher. His passion for education and unique perspective on learning led him to create award-winning math teaching programs that would eventually shape the face of online education in mathematics. Pat's approach to education is imbued with a deep sense of empathy and understanding of individual learning needs. He has transformed the abstract world of mathematics into an engaging and comprehensible subject for students of all ages. In a world where education is becoming increasingly digitized, Pat Murray's innovative thinking has left an indelible mark on how mathematics is taught and learned. His journey from a humble math teacher to a globally recognized educational entrepreneur is not merely a tale of success but an embodiment of the belief that with passion, creativity, and dedication, one can truly make a difference in the lives of others.

As far as math curriculums go, it has loads of great features that solve lots of the math issues we've had and I know a lot of homeschooling families have. Here are a few of the features (from the many) that we really like: Questions are adaptive which means the interactive questions change in difficulty depending on the student's ability. They use a smart algorithm that tracks the student's progress and delivers questions based on their unique needs. The student doesn’t even know this is happening, helping them to build confidence and master concepts! Concepts are delivered through video tutorials and summaries which are clear, complete, and easy to follow [like having your very own teacher]. This ensures your children understand something before they're asked to practise it. And then for us parents, CTCMath has: Extensive reports which are valuable in monitoring your child's progress and spotting any gaps. And they offer a 12-month money-back guarantee if this curriculum is not for you and your family. CTCMath will provide a full refund, no questions asked. But I think the most important things is a whole lot LESS stress when it's math time for both parents AND kids. You get to outsource math with confidence and your kids get a fantastic tailor-made programme that make
