I think this can be really difficult for parents to teach because we forget quite a bit of the math we learn when we don’t use it. I think refreshing your own skills is really helpful so that you can lead your kids in the right directions. However, I wouldn’t want to have to re-learn Calculus! ugh!

I have to throw in my 2 cents for my company Thinkwell. While we do create online curriculum for purchase, on both our blog and YouTube channel we offer free video lectures on a variety of subjects including math. Our students love our math professor, Edward Burger, and I’ve been watching these videos and re-learning math!

We’ve been posting free algebra course videos on our blog. The professor, Edward Burger, is really great. This is a great way to freshen your skills or teach your kids! I’ve been watching the videos for myself and am impressed by how good the easy Burger makes it.

What about an answer key to the Aufman/Barker Prealgebra book? Is this provided in the book, or does it need to be purchased separately? My experience is that it is hard to purchase teacher editions from traditional (non-homeschool) publishers) unless you are a certified teacher.
