Math Curriculum
No matter if you are a teacher or a parent who home schools, you will need to follow some kind of curriculum for each given subject. Having a good curriculum will allow the students to stay focused on the subject and help them work more independently too. If they are learning about math, they will need to start out with the basics and gradually move to more advanced lessons. So a teacher must have a math curriculum that benefits all of the students and it would be a good idea to make it easy for the students to understand.
If you don't you will end up risking your students understanding of math and this may be something they really need to know in order to solve other math problems in the future. Some teachers math curriculums will allow students to work at there own pace. This can end up working real well for some students because it can allow them to focus on areas that they are having trouble in. Remember that a math curriculum is just a guideline to help keep everyone focused. If you happen to get off track then that is certainly ok to do sometime.
