“I’d like to thank you, John Zimmerman, for creating TabletClass. Doing math used to be the most stressful part of our homeschooling day. Now that our son is using TabletClass, instead of a ‘battle of the wills,’ there is peace.”
Our Foundations Math course is a perfect intro/review of basic math skills your child will need to succeed in high school math.
Our teacher, John Zimmerman, cares about your child’s success. He guides students every step of the curriculum with clear and understandable instruction that will help build their confidence in math.
Foundations Math Curriculum Summary
Foundations Math is a multi-purpose mini math course designed for students from elementary to high school.
The primary goal of the course is to ensure students have strong arithmetic skills needed to succeed in courses at or above Pre-Algebra.
The course is also a great way to introduce elementary and middle school students to more advanced topics they will study in high school. As such, the Foundations Math course is an excellent review/transition for students going into a college prep math track, starting at Pre-Algebra.
This mini course is also valuable to all high school math students as a way to review and strengthen their basic math and arithmetic skills that will help them in their advanced math courses.
“Thank you so much for TabletClass!! I didn’t think I would be able to find an affordable option for high school math. My children can operate the system easily without me, and if I ever have a question, it is answered quickly. I feel like this system is sent directly from God to our family. It was such an amazing find!! Thank you!!”
