MATH CURRICULUM WORKBOOKS | MUST HAVE!! | Key To

Key To math series are the only math books we ever buy. They are simple, student-led and environmental friendly! You read it right, they are environmental friendly. The workbooks contain about 45 pages and are printed on thin paper similar to newsprint paper.

They are also simply laid out with easy to understand directions, so minimal instruction is needed. If you do need to help your child, the examples provided in the books are the perfect teaching tool. Simply write the example on a chalkboard or piece of paper and walk your child through the example.

The series also comes with an answer key, which I highly recommend. The curriculum is sold individually or as a set, and I think they are really well priced.

You can find the complete series at Rainbow Resource:

For review work, I use a math binder, and you can check out this video on how we put that together.

While we mainly use Key to Curriculum series

I have recently become interested in the Straight Forward math workbook series.

I used the Algebra set with one of my daughters. It was a life saver for her and a sanity saver for me! It was much easier to understand than another popular homeschooling math curriculum we had used with all our other kids.

Just started using these to supplement our math program! Love them!

Salam Alakum, you mentioned that you wish they had that series for younger grades, Miquon is a similar type curriculum and it is for 1st to 3rd grade. I did Miquon series and then Key to Curiculum (not the metric measurement or the algebra) then I did saxon upper grades growing up.

My LO is two, but I keep notes of what curriculums to look into when it's time. Thanks for all the sharing and info.

Thanks for sharing this Hana, adding it to the future "to buy" list! I LOVE that they're small, compact as you say and environmentally friendly! Perfect for roadschooling which we'll probably be doing when he's at the 4th grade level!

Great review of these books! Really appreciate being able to see inside the books, to be able to see the consistency of the program and hear your thoughts on the answer keys. Thank you! Very, very helpful. Very well done.

Thank you for this! I bought the Algebra and Geometry series for my 7th grader. Any adivice on which and how many of these books I should assign him this year? I started with Algebra 1 and Geometry 1, it took him about a month to finish both. So grateful for your recommendation. He is liking the books very much.

I also love these books! For the younger years mcp math may be just what you ber looking for. Topical, mastery based, and a perfect introduction to this style of math. Our family loves them both.

We used Saxon math and my son is now doing math and computer science at uni.

Thanks for sharing! We are a teaching textbook family and have used it for years. However, I love how this could be a great review.

Do you have a video yet on Mental Math? I know you use it daily, and I'm looking for resources on how to quickly and easily incorporate into our school day. I have a 1st grader and so far I've been able to find a few Waldorf websites that have game ideas for number recall but not much else. Any book recommendations or websites on what types of problems to use for mental math depending on ability? Thanks!

[mandythislovelypath]

Thank you! I have a 15 year old really struggling with algebra, I'm going to check these out!

[susanapaco]

It's so good to see that you also teach the metric system to your kids :) it's something I never understood about America, why making things more difficult with the imperial system when the metric is so useful?

[bellareina]

Awesome!!! I Love how it covers one subject per book.

[melissajanern]

Do the workbooks teach the content as well? Asking specifically for algebra 1- thanks! We are new to homeschooling and I am trying to find an algebra program

[Csmith]

Thank you soo much for your videos! I'm fairly new to homeschool (just completed our first year) and I haven't heard of this math before. My daughter has some gaps in her math so I'm going to try the percents books to see if can get a better understanding. Thank you again for sharing!!

[ProjectHappyHome]

This looks so interesting! Do they have any books for the younger set or is it only 3rd/4th and up?

[GeorgiaPeachieinVA]

Hana, I'm interested to know what order you suggest doing these in. I have a math-phobic daughter that has REALLY struggled. I'd love to start with some easier review to build her confidence (crosses fingers) and move up from there. Some say do book 1 in all the sets... then book 2... but I'm wondering if I should go through and stay in the same "type" (ex: Fractions) instead.

I am an adult with dyscalculia, I had been looking at these for when I finish, My current math book.
