When our family began homeschooling we were still getting a feel for what books and curriculum worked for us and what did not work for us. Our oldest daughter was struggled a bit with math. Math is not one of her strongest subjects. She is stronger in the subject of reading books and language arts. She was 5yrs. old when we started out using the curriculum MATH U SEE, it is simple and very user friendly for both teacher (parent) and child, but then I became enticed by a more flashier and expensive math curriculum. We made the purchase and started the lesson plans, but soon found it was not a good match for our family. Very quickly we switched back to Math U SEE . We have found, all though not perfect, it is very close to perfect. We have been using this math curriculum for 4 years and now we use it with our youngest daughter.
Math U SEE Benefits:
Very user friendly for Teacher (parent) and child.
Inexpensive compared to other programs.
Works great for teaching comprehension math skills to right-brain or left-brain dominant people.
Has simple, easy to use, colorful manipulative blocks that may or may not be used by your child starting from primer to advanced high school levels. The option is up to you and/or your child.
Each student has, his or her, own consumable work book. Which can be a pro or con depends on how you see it.
The teacher has a his or her own teachers Manuel.
This is really great! Each level comes with a fun, step by step for each lesson, instinctual DVD. The girls and I truly like watching these DVDs. Very helpful.
Math is no longer a chore to be hated. There is no more crying from me or our daughter. Math NO longer takes hours to accomplish, and it is NO longer a scary school subject for any of us in our family.
Thank you Math U See.
