Teaching Textbooks was created by the Sabouri brothers, both teachers, who designed it specifically to solve a common homeschool problem: parents who don’t have the time, confidence, or math background to teach the subject themselves. Each lesson opens with an animated video walkthrough, then moves into practice problems that are read aloud, offer hints before revealing full solutions, and are graded automatically — with a gradebook parents can check anytime without daily involvement.
The program follows a spiral approach with somewhat lighter review than curricula like Saxon, and starts at grade 3, so families need a separate program for earlier math. Students can work at their own pace, pause a subscription for breaks, and get free tutor support if they get stuck. A 15-lesson free trial is available at any grade level before committing.
Best for families wanting a genuinely hands-off math curriculum that teaches and grades itself, and for students who do well working independently on a screen.
Video lessons handle instruction, so parents don’t have to explain the math themselves.
A detailed online gradebook saves significant parent time.
