I feel like we are turning the corner! Someone told me that the MUS revision was to align with Common Core. I can't speak to that. How is your new year starting out? Have you identified your pain point yet?

I really appreciated this video for the simple fact you give the honest reviews!

I can only speak for my child. He’s done Math U See from the beginning and is now in Algebra 2. We used the Algebra 1 Legacy because that was the format he was used to and didn’t want to do math without Mr. Demme. He did fine with no issues but my biggest suggestion is to compare both versions with your child to see which one will work best. Pick the option (whether that’s Math U See or another program) that works best for your child. There no right curriculum only the one the works best for your specific child.

Hands down recommend Denison Algebra. It is taught really well in incremental pieces that are easily digestible.

I have not done a ton of research on the algebra one specifically but I switched this year and started Saxon math 8/7 prealgebra. I also have a Nicole The Math Lady subscription and it’s been a dream. My kid has been so uncomfortable with math ever since he was small and he’s finally feeling confidence. We watch her videos for one lesson on one day and do her practice problems. Then the next day he solos the “mixed problems” with my overview and I check his work. We do two lessons a week like this for a 4 day week.

i started homeschooling for the first time ever using the Math U See Algebra 1 regular curriculum (not legacy), aaannnd.... i'm on the struggle bus because math is just not my strength, but here we are. i didn't know anything about homeschooling at all and went with this, but i'm going to push through it, as i usually do everything else in life, and hopefully, we make it out the other side with good results. prayers for everyone!

I remember when you posted the pre algebra (we both were so happy) this year Im using algebra 1 legacy
(MUS) without the video lesson or the answer key bc its pricey for me, and we are struggling. Here Im trying to figure out another algebra 1 bc I will have to redo algebra 1 again bc of the inconvenience.

We are on week 3 as well with this program, I'm considering buying the Legacy edition because we are struggling Principles.

We tried the blue one last year and we stopped after two weeks. It was too different and frustrating for my daughter. I ordered the Legacy Algebra and it was a lot better for her. She is now in public school high school doing Math one integrated Algebra and Geometry. For my son I honestly plan on doing Legacy Algebra and then do the blue version afterwards. I am in no rush for for him.
