Math U See

We started using Math U See today. We had been using Horizons math for the last two years, so it was pretty different using Math U See. I like it. I like that we can watch the DVD. The kids get better understanding being able to watch the DVD with me before I teach the concept. I also like the way this curriculum is so hands-on. The use of manipulatives makes math so concrete and reinforces the concepts in your mind. I appreciate that there are so many practice pages available. It's nice because those who get the concept right away don't have to do all of the practice pages, yet those who are slower learners can practice until they get it. So far, I am pretty impressed with this curriculum.
