Welcome to Mr. D Math
                           Mr D Math
After working with home school families for years, a mom told me "Mr. D, my son finally understands Algebra, would you please just write your own book?" So I did just that. Now after a successful co-op pilot in Sarasota FL, I am excited to make this curriculum available to you. 

This is the end of struggling with getting your kids to do math homework. They'll actually enjoy math. My Math curriculum is one that offers your own personal teacher straight to your school, home or co-op while infusing life skills for teens and goal setting as the basis for program delivery.

On a weekly basis, your child will master the necessary concepts of math, while learning to manage their time, coursework completion, tests and grades. This curriculum will leave your child prepared for tests such as the SAT and college level courses.

Take a look below:

·         Have you ever noticed that when you give a student back a test or assignment, they will first look at their grade, then see which ones were wrong, then put it away.  What tends to not happen is a student going back to see how to correct a mistake that or what step was left out or missed.  In this program, as students complete assigned lessons or tests for the week, they will check their own work with the solution manual.  They also have access to Mr. D via email and/or phone if questions rack their brains.

What makes this program different?

  •  Students use a DVD format to review lessons at home as well as in the classroom.
  • Students have a built in teaching partner.
  • Examples are hand written.
  • Solutions are hand written.
  • The solution guide shows each and every answer worked out step by step.
  • Math language development is a top focus.
  • The program delivers to multiple learning styles reaching the auditory, visual and kinesthetic learner.
  • Online access to Mr. D for questions and support.

My husband was working with Jonathan on his math using your DVD and made the comment, "I have never heard a teacher explain this so clearly!  He is really a good teacher!!"  Thanks for doing an excellent job.  You've got a great talent!

Our son jumped 4 grades in his math computation score on the Iowa standardized test this year. This can only be credited to your excellent teaching and curriculum.  I didn't realize there was such a tremendous gain.  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!

Hear what moms are saying about the Mr. D Math Curriculum!

Mr. D spoke recently at our monthly homeschool support meeting for Learning and Families Homeschool Support Group.  He was a hit!  Everyone, from the youngest student present to the parents, listened intently while Mr. D made math understandable and simple.  He makes math make sense.  His approach is light hearted and fun so the students were drawn in immediately.  He smiles continuously and moves with ease from one aspect of math to the next as he uses his original approach to pull it all together.  Many of the ideas he taught were able to be put to use at home right away because they were simple and made so much sense!  Most parents share the same opinion that if math were taught the way Mr. D teaches it when we were in school, we would have been A students and loved math!
