Math is (finally) working!

Posted in School Life

"Mom?  Can I do another page of math now?"

Those words, uttered last week by my oldest daughter, were music to my ears!  Math had become such a challenge.  I was fighting tears, boredom, frustration, every single day.  The spiral program we were using was not working. 

After months of researching different programs, I finally settled on Math-U-See.  I was attracted by the mastery concept (the spiral approach frustrated my daughter) and I especially liked that Math-U-See came with a teaching DVD.  We watch this DVD together.  Usually, I don't have to do anything else with this daughter.  It's like giving me a break!   My 6yo daughter is doing very well with this program also.  It's been a wonderful transition!  How often can you switch your curriculum and go from hating math to loving it?  From math being the most dreaded subject to it being the favorite subject? 

Yes, I'm one happy homeschooling mom right now!

Plus the blocks are just fun!

 Can I count this as geography, too?

I just emailed you, but my ds7 loves MathUSee. I was so happy when we learned about the program. I can't wait to show Johnston (ds7) the tower your daughter built.

Glad it's working for your family!

Our family has had so much success with Math U See. It is a blessing to us. My oldest daughter cries frequently over math, but this program has cut down on the tears and I am so grateful. It is nice to see others having success as well.
