Choosing a Homeschool Curriculum


Imagine your child happily begging to start their math and science lessons.

It's easier than you think. And you don't even have to know much about math or science to really make a lasting impact on your child's education.

Where do I start?

Homeschooling gives you the freedom to create a learning adventure that fits your child, but can quickly feel overwhelming if you're not clear on what you want, or where you're headed.

With Supercharged Science & Math, you can tailor math and science lessons to their unique interests and learning styles, turning both math and science into an exciting journey of discovery. 

Even if you don't know a thing about science or math, or even you don't have time to teach science, your child can still get an outstanding education because we take care of everything, one step at a time.

1. Pick a topic that really sparks an interest

For example, if your child is crazy about airplanes, don’t just toss paper airplanes around the room – get them inside a real airplane with their first flying lesson so they can really get a taste of what their future can be like if they keep studying math and science.

If your child loves astronomy, instead of buying a telescope (they won't know where to point it or how to use it), visit a star-gazing event hosted by a local astronomy club or science museum, or find an interview with an astronaut they can watch online. 

The key is that you need to hook them and show them what’s possible.

Most curriculum and teachers do this backwards!  Instead, they will cram the academics at the student, forcing them to learn things that the child either has no real interest in or does not understand how it's useful in the real world. We want students to be so excited about learning, so on fire with what they're curious about, that they simply can't wait to ask their questions and learn as much as they can.

That's the secret to learning that lasts a lifetime - you have to answer two questions before you start in with the academics: 
"What is this useful for?" and "Why should I care?"

2. Provide opportunities to experiment with the concepts (and make mistakes)

Quick question: Do you learn more when you make mistakes or get it right

Most people agree that they learn more when they make mistakes.

The problem is, parents often swoop in to rescue their child, because they don’t want them to make the same (often painful) mistakes we did.

Here’s the trouble with this: the message we give is that our child isn't capable of learning from their mistakes, and instead need us solve their problems for them. (Yikes!)

So take a breath and consider what the true cost is in that moment. Is it more important for them to ‘get it right’ or learn how to learn from mistakes? 

Allow your child the freedom to play with the concepts and learn from their mistakes.

Most curriculum are jam-packed with facts to memorize or endless rounds of drill worksheets. Science isn't about what you know, it's about how you handle the things you don't know.  It's how you ask questions, how you think about what you're observing in the real world. Math is how we model what we observe in the world to create things, plan out ideas, and solve problems for people.

3. Now we teach the academics

This is the step most people jump straight to, so if you have a child who's struggled with a textbook, a teacher, or a curriculum, this is probably what went wrong.

First, you must get your student hungry for what you want them to know. You have to spark their interest and make the concepts relevant to what they already know and understand.

Next, we have to allow students time and space to play with these concepts, without rushing through it or feeling left behind and discouraged.

Once you have these two things handled, their inner drive will make learning the academics a breeze. They already want to know the concepts, so all you have to help guide them as they take charge of their own learning!

What if I don't know how to do that?

Can you relate to any of these?

You don’t have time to teach science, but really want your kids to learn it
You don't feel  you have the skill to teach math or science
You are frustrated with quality of education available, but you don’t know where or how to start improving it (and don’t really want to be the one to do it!)

Who is most likely to succeed using our approach?

The people we help typically share many of these following traits and characteristics. If these fit you as well, you are probably someone I can help with math and science..

  • You hold a high standard for excellence for learning
  • You are committed to success and don’t give up easily
  • You are humble enough to realize you can’t know everything.
  • You have shown that you are willing to invest in your child’s education
  • You have shown your child that you are not afraid to make mistakes, and are willing to let them make their own
  • If any of these resonate with you, you are someone I may be able to help. The first place to start is with the right information. That’s why I’ve put together my online learning programs.


    No matter what type of science experience you have, it is possible to:

    Expand your curriculum without buying expensive equipment or textbooks
    Teach your kid science and math without having to do it yourself
    Create learning opportunities that ignite your child’s curiosity and excitement for both math and science
    Create a place for your child to be free to discover and explore, bringing your child closer to your vision of what you know they could become

    Together, we will focus on the areas that are often most neglected in homeschool (usually science), and help to make learning a lot less scary and intimidating!
