We are guilty (well... I'm guilty 🤭) of jumping around between math curriculums. My daughters struggle.... it was all fine until Saxon 5/4...we went all the way to 7/6 with my oldest, but the amount of problems and the time it took had us all in tears. But throughout the years we've tried Calvert, a little Singapore, Teaching Textbooks, FLVS, Nicole the Math Lady, Study. Com, Math Mammoth, and now we've finally stuck with CTC Math. 😮‍💨I'm so ashamed.

I'm starting to see that the Simply Good and Beautiful math is such a tight spiral curriculum that you don't really get a chance to learn a topic. It skips around so much. That was a good point about it being like summer worksheets. I actually think it works well as a break from your regular curricula for a couple weeks, to switch things up midyear maybe. Or summer skills work to keep from backsliding. No need to buy the whole thing. I pick my favorite lessons on the free pdf and print them off for winter break, random breaks, etc. We homeschool year round and we find we need two different types of breaks: real breaks from all schoolwork, and sometimes just shortened days with different or easier curricula.

We use the Math with Confidence series as our main math and we love it!

What you said about the good and the beautiful IS SPOT ON!!! I’m a former certified public school teacher turned homeschooling my 3 years ago and I can truly say we did TGTB K and it felt like they threw everything but the kitchen sink in at the end! I knew for a fact I was not doing TGTB for -1st grade it had no logical flow at all!

[katrinakim]

Brittany, I’m only two minutes into your video but I have to tell you….this couldn’t come at a better time! Thank you for making this! My kids are currently using Math Mammoth and I love it, it is so solid, but they are beginning to hate math. It may just be a case of the Februaries, so I will wait till March to see if this continues…but I really want my kids to at least tolerate their math curriculum. So thank you for making this so that the rest of us can have a glimpse inside a variety of curricula!

[sarahsmith]

Thanks for sharing the journey! 😊
Just wanted to mention, Abeka actually uses a lot of manipulatives, helps, hints, and games but they are in the curriculum guide. If you just do the workbooks, it’s only about 1/2 of the program, and can be a reason students struggle to keep the pace.
We actually use Saxon after grade 3 Abeka. And LOVE Nicole the Math Lady! In high school we are using Penn Foster online high school which is a Godsend to anyone with a high schooler.
Happy Homeschooling!

I agree with TGTB. I wanted it to work so bad but it was way too bouncy. My girls would do great on the lessons but once they took the unit assessment, they couldn’t remember anything. We have switched to CTC math now, and I’m liking it so far

[jessicaloveridge]

I’ve used TGTB for my daughter k-4th now. I love the spiral math as it helps my child retain what she learns. In that way it reminds me of Saxon. Also because my daughters get either bored or overwhelmed quickly the jumping around because it keeps the math fresh. But I understand that this does not work for everyone. I wish I had this math when I was a kid!

[rosalindreloj]

This is so helpful. My daughter is in ABEKA 1, we started with Masterbooks grade 1 and WOW! I Also purchased Dimensions for her 2nd grade year. The geometry components, the mental math aspects you tou hed on, your reasoning, and the process for switching are all so so so helpful! I will definitely keep MUS in my mind as we progress.
My daughter is needing a lot of hand holding with ABEKA as we navigate the second half, just like you described. But i also REALLY appreciate the incremental way they introduce information. It has been a fine 1st grade math, but mastery and explanation is definitely needed moving forward to be able to understand the higher math. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!

[Olgaleigh]

Love how detailed this was. As someone who has tried sooo many math curricula it was so good to see the reasons why some don’t work and why. Thank you. We also ended up sticking with Math u See!

[faithfullyinfertile]

I loved hearing all about your math journey with your oldest daughter! I have just started Math U See with my kids too! We love it!

[madiha]

Nicole the Math Lady always coming in clutch

[callmeshort]

This was really informative. my oldest is in pre-K. This was helpful to hear all the explanations and get a good perspective of how far you can go in a certain curriculum, and also that it’s OK to switch if it’s not working for us!

[HomeschoolMommaChantel]

This just helped solidify how I'm feeling about TGTB! I felt crazy because we have so many people around us who love it, but I'm not seeing the benefits in my boys. They're not retaining anything because their not given the opportunity to retain anything because it jumps so fast with no intentionality!

[Mare]

This was very helpful. Math with confidence is not working for my 1st grader, but the idea of switching mid year is nerve wracking! Ive been eyeing math you see for the mastery aspect.

[Destroyess]

Ohhh my goodness you were thorough!! Thank you!! I was doing the Horizons full curriculum from 1st-3rd grade and while I feel she was learning some advanced math, there was no real help how to teach it. She’s so smart but we both argued and struggled hard during math. Many tears. For some reason, horizons doesn’t have a full fourth grade curriculum that I can find anywhere. So I am in the market for a new math curriculum. I came across the Good and the Beautiful and I felt like it would take a lot of stress off of both of us and we would have a good school year with math, but after seeing your thorough review, I totally see why it would be much easier for us because I do feel like she would lose her advanced progress that she is at now and just get by in math. But I’m also adding my son to homeschool this year as well so now I’m wondering if I should just stick with the Good and the Beautiful math curriculum and add an extra book of math to her curriculum. Ugh. But thank you so much! You helped me tremendously because we all want our kids to succeed and be at their best. Big hugs

[non-gmo]

Math has always been our sore spot. We had gone through Abeka, apologia, Tgtb, Ray's arithmetic and simply Charlotte Mason 😬🤦. Finally found Beauty and Truth Math guides that go with Strayer Upton. Oh these are the best for us! Short, thorough, and Mastery approach. It's wonderful lol.

[hopelyle]

Thank you so much for this! We are adopting a seven-year-old with medical and learning needs from Bulgaria and plan on homeschooling him when he gets here! My husband and I were both homeschooled for most of our school years and graduated college summa cum laude. My husband started working with his grandpa who’s a general contractor in 10th grade and found a talent and is now a superintendent of commercial construction at only 25❤️ He’s a self-starter and very driven and a compassionate natural leader and I really think homeschooling helped develop all of that in him so I wanted to do the same for our kids!

[svetiksky]

I’m grateful for your video! I also purchased The Good and the beautiful
Math curriculum, because my son is very visual. But I noticed the same problem, it jumps from one topic to another. I was doing research about other math programs, and your video helped me a lot! 🙏🙏🙏

[HeatherAnne]

This is sooo helpful! I find your reviews and comparisons and examples very useful! Thank you so much!

[sarahjardin]

Wow - what a rockstar homeschooling mama you are!!!!
Thank you so very much for creating this video. We have some shared experiences and your insight into these options is incredibly helpful. ❤thank you and all the best to you on your journey.
