It's a work in process, but recently I've had my Blue Series math books translated into French.
First one is available to purchase as of today, at HomeschoolEstore: Mammouth Mathématiques Addition 1 and more will be coming soon.
If you know how or where, please spread the word to Canadian homeschoolers who might be interested — I really don't know how to reach/find them myself.

Math enrichment problems at MathNotations
Today I want to highlight a blog called Math Notations by Dave Marain that specializes in math enrichment problems such as various type challenges and investigations. And they are quite good!
For example, recently Dave posted a geometry problem, and even gave the answer in his post, but he asked the readers to find DIFFERENT ways to solve the problem.
I encourage you to go see the problem and see how many different ways you can find to solve it!
That is exactly what we can ask students too - especially if you have many students and some of them solve the original problem in no time. You can use the same problem as a basis for further investigations for them.
His blog has "labels" in the sidebar, which makes it easy to find problems on a particular topic or concept.

Review of Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutor Algebra 1
I've written one more review... This time it is about Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutor Algebra 1 curriculum.
Carnegie Learning's Algebra 1 curriculum is a unique algebra curriculum — unlike anything I've seen before. It is sure to appeal to some of you homeschoolers. I liked it quite a bit.
The curriculum consists of two parts: textbook and software.
The software component is called Cognitive Tutor. It provides the student intelligent computerized practice with everything in Algebra 1 curriculum.
The textbook also is somewhat different from your standard textbooks in the fact that often the whole lesson can be based on an exploration or investigation.
