Homeschool Software for Mac Users

Another homeschool software program similar to Excel, but for Mac users is Numbers, made by Apple. Some of the best homeschool software packages are on the Mac. Numbers is very similar to Excel in its capabilities, and could be considered to be easier to work with. It is more graphical in nature, and easier for someone who is interested in the final presentation to make sense of, since that is where its focus is. Numbers could be used in your homeschool for tracking grades, or teaching your child about formulas and graphs. Its graphing functions are very nicely laid out and easy to use. Your child could use it as a computer enhanced learning tool when working on charts or graphs for their math curriculum. Its file format is not as widely supported, but you can export to many different formats that the people you are sharing with can accept.
