Wildridge Education, "A Bigger World" Pioneer home educators, Larry and Joan Bangs began homeschooling in 1969. Their five children are now grown, but mom and dad have been busy developing educational software based on their years of learning with their children, and we are happy to carry the two that have been produced so far.

The programs were created as supplementary products that integrate key subject area content with stimulating and thought- provoking activities that can be used in the classroom or at home. Each set is delivered on CD-ROM and is available as a stand-alone package or as lab-packs. In addition, each unit includes printed guides for the teacher and student, a student textbook, workbook, study questions, content-rich curriculum, and more. Recognizing that not all learners achieve success at the same pace or in the same way, they have developed their products to challenge students with a variety of ability levels. They teach practical knowledge and have included multiple activities for independent or collaborative learning. The learner receives ongoing concept reinforcement through a variety of teaching methods. Their organized lesson assignments allow for self-paced learning or team learning. Additionally, the multi-disciplinary approach helps the learner make the connection between events and activities. The focus on real-world applications bring relevancy to potentially complex lessons in subject areas such as math, history, literature, music and science.     Math & Music by Wildridge Education Math & Music is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing the practical value of fundamental math skills by relating these skills to the basic elements of music.
