I really like the idea of a mastery-based curriculum. I feel like traditional schooling expects children to learn so many new concepts throughout the school year instead of working on mastery and so they forget it quickly, because they really aren’t learning, they are memorizing. Thank you for explaining this so thoroughly ☺️

So interesting to learn how families homeschool. My son is still little right now but this is something I’ve considered. I do like how the workbooks are simple and plain (not colorful). I would imagine that can be really distracting for kids

I love Math-U-See! Like you, I think in the earlier levels the manipulatives are amazing! My daughter, currently 2nd grade, can picture math problems in her head. She is very quick at calculating because of their methods!

We love watching the DVDs together before each new lesson (usually Mondays)! Especially because I can say “well, what did Mr. Demme teach you?” 😂

I found that most review fail to mention the review pages. I love the fact there are those review pages after the lesson so that my child doing Gamma is still practicing the addition and subtraction from last "year" .

I've been watching so many of your videos. Definitely one of my fav homeschool channels. I was actually looking into switching to math u see last night. I feel like this is my sign to make the switch

Hi! Catching up after being sick and then being away on a trip. We LOVE Math U See! It has always been a great fit for Caris, we love using the blocks. I like that you said you can switch up how they do the problems. Such an important concept for us homeschooling parents to utilize. ❤️

As a 5th grade teacher I cant express how important manipulatives are !! Game changer

Thanks for this review! It’s very helpful to see how this program works!

[JRMVlogsChannel]

Very nice share about the math curriculum. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Such a helpful video. Thanks for making it! Helped a lot with my decision to purchase it.

We love math u see but idk if we would go back after using simply math!!! I never thought we’d leave math u see. I used to draw on the pages and so do my kids!!! We still use math u see for practice!!! I still teach the math u see way!!! We love the dvds or as my daughter calls them the dvs. We’ve used them for extra teaching. We didn’t know of the digital toolbox. We used multiple math curriculums as well!!! My great uncle photocopied math u see and put books together to make them spiral and we’ve used his books he made along with the original books.

Thanks for an explanation on the curriculum!

Our current math is very plain Jane compared to other math programs-- no cutesy poems or animals! 😅 And I agree, those can be distracting from the actual beauty of math and math doesn't need to be dressed up to be interesting. That being said, my kids are very hands on learners, and visually they can be easily distracted by unrelated content like colors and pictures. There are some kids who need that initial attraction like pretty colors, and each family is different. It's what works best for your kids that is important. 💕💕

Do you feel like MUS is enough to go through high school with? My child has dyslexia and struggles with math. We are just starting MUS after 3 years of TGTB and she did Singapore in a private school prior to that. MUS is currently a breath of fresh air and giving her confidence in math again. I'm just now wondering if it's almost too easy for her, but I'm adding in review stuff with it. I've read mixed reviews though as it gets into high school, so I'm curious if you've seen that or what your thoughts are on that?

I just watched this again because my oldest has hit a wall with Masterbooks Level 5 math (fractions) and I don't know what to do. I think maybe SEEING fractions could help, but I just don't know and I am quite frustrated. :( What I really wish is that Math with Confidence had released all their levels!

[lifewithginab]

I think this is the first time I've watched an in-depth explanation on this math curriculum! Looks very interesting... I sometimes wish I could try all the curriculums... it's so tempting to switch curriculums! 😅

[homeschool.pray.repeat]

You mentioned possibly using MUS Algebra for review Algebra skills. What do you use for upper level math?
I’ve got one son in Saxon that’s very math minded and I have a projection for him in mind with Saxon. But my youngest wants to try Beta. I’m just not as familiar with their projection through highschool.

[peachy_reina]

My daughter has a bit of a hard time with math, and I haven't been very helpful in that area since I've switched my kids around so much! 😢 She's in 5th grade and I'm thinking of switching her to MUS. She says she struggles with division and multidigit multiplication at the moment... I'm not sure we should even attempt switching again, or if I should start with MUS Delta? Do you have any recommendations?

[homeschool.pray.repeat]

Oh my goodness, your comments on why it’s likely a gifted student may get frustrated with MUS!! Maybe that’s why my oldest is preferring Saxon!

Hi,
I have a 4th grader and an 8th grader. Both are in public school. Which level is good for 8th grade, and 4th grade??
