Teaching Textbooks review
A structured, app-based math curriculum that reduces parent teaching and grading work.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Teaching Textbooks is a digital homeschool mathematics curriculum for students working from Math 3 through Pre-Calculus. Its courses are designed for independent work, with interactive video lectures, automated grading, hints for selected problems, step-by-step video solutions, and a searchable, printable eBook. A Parent Portal provides student gradebooks, while free phone tutoring is available for customers. Courses run on web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with offline access for up to six lessons.
Pricing is annual and charged per student. Math 3, Math 4, and Math 5 each cost $48.95 per student per year. Math 6 and Math 7 cost $63.95 per student per year. Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry each cost $79.95 per student per year. The paid course includes the digital curriculum and its listed learning tools; optional printed textbooks and answer keys are sold separately. Free trials include the first 15 lessons and require no billing information, while digital courses have a 30-day refund or exchange window from the selected start date.
The standout value is the combination of automated grading, worked video solutions, parent gradebooks, and independent student workflow. That makes Teaching Textbooks a strong fit for families seeking a focused math course that can reduce day-to-day teaching and grading responsibilities. It is less suitable for families looking for an all-subject curriculum or built-in lesson plans, since it focuses on mathematics and does not provide them. Families wanting printed materials can add textbooks and answer keys, while those prioritizing digital delivery can use the course across computers, tablets, and phones.
