While it is an honors level course, Shormann Math is faster and easier to learn than other college preparatory curriculum for several reasons:
-
Saves 1 Full Year of Math! Due to the Integration of Algebra and Geometry, Shormann Algebra 1 and Shormann Algebra 2 each include 1/2 credit of geometry. A stand alone Geometry course is not recommended. Learn More
-
Help Links and other eLearning tools make learning more efficient!! There is a link above each homework question to a short video clip that teaches a similar problem so students can quickly relearn that concept. This builds long-term retention that makes learning math faster and easier.
-
Auto-grading with Instant Feedback: Students solve each problem on paper then enter their answer and get immediate feedback. If it's wrong, they use the Help Links, check their work, then try again. If they get it right, they earn partial credit. Instead of waiting until all problems are solved to try to re-learn and correct, instant feedback allows the student to relearn right then while they are still engaged which saves time and mental energy.
-
Incremental Development & Continual Review: 30 years of research has shown this unique methodology of short, bite sized lessons with Continual Review develops fluency and auto-recall with less practice which raises scores on standardized tests like the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. It also shows students are more likely to remember and apply mathematical knowledge effectively.

The Timed Method: Frustration Free Learning! This method was developed by Dr. Shormann over 30 years of teaching math. Students work on math 4-5 days per week for no more than a specific time (depending on age). At the end of this time, regardless of how much of the lesson is completed, the student should stop and pick up where he left off the next day. This allows the student to learn at their own pace, giving them time to slow down as needed to re-learn forgotten concepts or to grasp a new concept. This self-paced method is the most efficient way to learn math without overwhelming or frustrating the student. Learn More: Fluency

A Biblical & Historical Foundation Teaches the "Why" Behind Math Concepts: Built on a biblical and historical foundation, Shormann teaches math as the language of science; a tool used to better understand God and His creation. An emphasis on math history gives students a clearer picture of the "why" behind the math they are learning while shedding light on modern math's rich Christian heritage. Students learn to use math as a tool to explore their world and enhance their own God-given creativity.
