Masterbooks math lessons were HIGHLY recommended so I was super excited to give it a try as a former high school math teacher. Here is our experience and why we stopped using it! This may be a great fit for your family but for us, it just wasn't what I was looking for.

I appreciate your comments for sure! It's definitely a gentle math. But the stories each week do reinforce the real world examples - and the copy work is because of the roots in Charlotte Mason method. Also, I can't tell you how many times in this curriculum the child is asked to explain to the teacher, in their own words, each concept. Many many many. Thanks for your video! :)

Did you use the Practice Make Perfect workbooks that go with the Math? I highly recommend that. It has way more practice. If that's what you are looking for. Also, I believe level 5 there will be a book in the Fall for practice. Call the company. A lot of children get overwhelmed with curriculum that has a lot of problems on the page. You could print an extra worksheet for practice. There is not one perfect curriculum out there no matter how long you search.

Well if you skip the reading part in the beginning of the lessons, you are completely missing how the curriculum ties math concepts into our real world experiences. That’s actually what this curriculum excels at.
This curriculum is amazing for certain kids. If you use it, be sure to do everything involved if you want to get everything you can out of it.

Thanks for the review. Would love to see a review on Apologia Math as I’m trying to decide between that or Singapore Math

[annekendziora]

Thank you for this review. I was really close to ordering this math but you pointed out a few things that I know I don't like.

I think you had some really great comments and take-aways on this. Math really is a whole new language.

Id like a review on apologia math if you have it. I have a child who really struggles w math, at 9 we are still at addition and subtraction and i dont know what to use anymore.

I want to like Masterbooks but for for me it's just not enough. Too much copy work. I like the practice makes perfect workbooks though.

Oh my gosh yeah My first thoughts were “why switch from Singapore?” Daughter is mathematically inclined for sure and she wouldn’t even want to pick up Masterbooks over Dimensions. I do like the idea of them writing their own summary sentence or of each lesson to help firm up their understanding so I might take that away from this

I love that there are stories. That sounds like such a fun approach. Thanks for your honest review. Just subscribed. I also have a channel with tons of homeschooling content. I would love to be friends and connect here 😊. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
