I have an unusual comment--but it might help someone. I am an adult and a number of years ago, I was in a teacher science program at a tech college. I was required to take some math courses, but I have what I believe is probably dyscalcula (general math disability). I never got a higher than D grade. I learned about MathUSee at conference. I bought can't recall I think fractions and worked up thru Alegebra 1, I think though, not sure. I did very well on all the tests, and never ran into difficulties. I really enjoyed working with it, and didn't get bored.

As a student from alpha to pre-calc, math-u-see is an amazing tool that makes math actually fun I actually like math and have learned a lot

I used math-u-see growing up and now homeschooling my own children, I see so much value in the "bland" look of this curriculum! I hate all the visual clutter that so many curriculums have! I hope they don't change it because that's the thing I love most about math-u-see!

Thank you this is what I needed to know about the curriculum. Thank you for taking the time to review this.

this was such an amazing video, you explained it just perfectly. thank you so much

Amazing review. You covered every single question that I had.

Wow, you are great at getting down to it and really sharing what people need to know. I'm excited that I was able to hear this before I make this HUGE decision. Thank you SO MUCH! Subscribing and looking forward to watching all your content!

Thank you so much for doing this review!! It has helped so much understanding there isn’t grade levels.

Thank you for this video! It reaffirmed my choice of MUS. I debated long and hard over which math curriculum to pick, went back and forth, but ultimately went with this. We just began Primer and are on lesson 4 and are enjoying it so far. All of the cons that you mentioned aren’t cons for us, leaving only pros so I was happy to see this! I am a box checker though so your advice on that will be helpful to me so that that won’t become a con. Thank you!

Girrrrrrlllllll... This was a FANTASTIC video! Thank you soooo much for your time. 👌👏🤗

Thank you so much for this great and objective review! We have used MUS for 7 of our 8 homeschool years from Alpha to Pre-Algebra and have loved it, my kids have a great foundation in math. This year we have one starting Algebra and I'm hesitant to continue with it though not because I doubt the program, but because I doubt my ability to help if my child gets stuck. We started out doing every single page in the workbook which I guess was ok in the beginning for the memorization of math facts aspect, but as they got older we moved to doing A, if they got them all right, move on to D (Systematic Review) and if they got them all right there, move on to G and then the quiz. This has them covering sometimes 2 or 3 lessons per week when they really get a concept and frees up other weeks for when something takes longer to understand.

I am switching over to this! This was super helpful and sounds like it’s going to be a perfect fit for us. Just ordered today!

Thank you for this review! I’ve been agonizing over choosing a math curriculum for my family. After watching a bunch of demos from Steve and actually watching him teach, I started to feel a lot more comfortable with math I see, and learning right along side it. I actually really like that it isn’t colorful as I personally find that distracting. I would like to know how it works among multiple ages though. I only have 2 in school, but so far have 5 sons, and only so much time in the day that I can reasonably devote to homeschool.

Thank you for your honest review! I feel like we are always drawn to the “colorful” math curriculums and end up struggling because they lack mastery. This is amazing information ❤️

Excellent and concise review; very helpful! Thank you.

Thank you for your honest review 🙏🏾

Excellent review! Very helpful. Thanks a lot!

This was super helpful! I’m a first-time homeschool mom. Thank you so much for the in-depth review!

Thank you for the review. It gives more info than the website!

I started using Mathusee after watching this video! We started with Alpha, did Beta, and now starting Gamma! My son enjoys it so much and has actually mastered all the concepts! Thankyou so much!!!

This was a great video! Thank you so much!

This was an excellent video. Thank you!

Thanks for your review, was very helpful!!

This was so helpful! Thank you

This was an excellent review I think I’ll try it out!

We switched mid year to MUS for my oldest and he picked up so quickly. I bought primer and alpha for my younger kids. And I always look at these new flashy math curriculums coming out and I want to try them so bad, but always come back to MUS. Because I am a mama of 7 and honestly MUS is just easy and my kids can do alot of it independently. I also LOVE the way he teaches in the DVD I've learned so much myself.

This is really a helpful video, thanks so much.

We're new homeschoolers. We chose to start off with Math-u-see and my 5 and 3 year olds love the blocks. I bought both Primer and Alpha because Mr. 5 tested at alpha, but I wanted to make sure he had a good foundation before I overwhelmed him with challenging material. Now they're doing primer together and it's really working out. My only complaint is it's a bit dry.

I love your video! Thank you! Am a new homeschool mom (3 years) and still need help. Am creating videos for new mom that need help. And your video is awesome!

New home school mom and this video is the best I have seen so far thank you for sharing all your knowledge, I know you mentioned the DVD's being helpful but do I need the digital pack?

This was super helpful! Thank you!

Very helpful as usual. Thank you

Oh thank you for the review. I was planning on using Saxon but to be honest am dreading it because of how labour intensive it is. I'm considering switching to this as mastery is so important.

Amazing review 😊

Thanks for the review. I've been debating on getting this or Singapore math. Now I am leaning towards both 😂.

Hi, if i am planning on putting my kid in school during middle school or maybe highschool, would this program help or hinder ? thanks

Thank you. I had my kids watch this video as I was nearby, able to hear it, as I squeezed and drank my celery juice that I make in my blender. Anyway, our oldest is liking Math U See and I'm going to buy a lower level for our second-oldest. (Our 8-year-old is doing The Good and the Beautiful math for now.)

Thank you for this!

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you for this video. You mentioned that you got your blocks from a used homeschool curriculum website. Are there some websites you'd recommend for finding used curriculum?

Excellent review. My child has holes in her math class but refuses to use MUS. She finds the pages dull and the blocks work. Like, seriously? LA is more work. ;) I wish I put my foot down instead but I bought into the “if it’s not fun they won’t listen” trope. She’s got the flashy math and can’t picture it. Ironically. That said, lesson learned and my youngest is starting in Alpha and this review and enthusiasm helps me stick to it

Could you elaborate on some of the other curricula? Which ones are more story? Which ones more colorful?

I used it with my kids over 15 years ago. Loved it! And a lot has changed due to keeping up with tech. I also noticed a change with teaching multiplication, that I don't like, and that is it's now resembling the "common core" concepts. common core didnt even exist quite yet. And, the student books used to be spiral, which was a lot easier to work with than bound books. Personally I like that the text isn't flashy. It's simple and not distracting. Besides, if a kid wants to be creative and draw or color in it, they can. When I have kids again I will definitely use it again, but I'll have to change up some things within myself lol.

Can I still used the math u see program with my first grader even though she is attending a public school? Or would that be too much or conflict with her school work? I just really want her to master ther math and not just have vague understanding like I did. I don't ahev the means to fully homeschool her though

This was a great review. We are first time homeschoolers (kindergarten) and I struggled to pick a curriculum. We think we will homeschool longterm, but are open to public school if that ends up being a better fit.. I went with TGATB new math because it looked so beautiful and fun. I had friends say the math u see is boring. My concern now is about spiral vs mastery. Maybe math u see would have been a better fit. We are going to give TGATB a chance but if it seems like not a good fit, I think we will try Math U See.

My 4 year old daughter breezed through Primer. She is 5 now and we are working through Alpha. We are on lesson 7. Now when they say “master” before moving on, does that mean she needs to know without using the blocks what 7+2 is?

Hi! This will be my first year homeschooling (with 1st grade and 3rd grade ages). My daughter hates math and somewhat struggles, my son likes to find patterns and repeat without understanding...so as soon as the format changes he has no clue what he’s doing. Ok, my question is...in between math you see and math mammoth. I really liked your video I just didn’t understand something if you have time to explain I’d really appreciate it. You said 30 lessons? I haven’t looked at the book but I looked at the video demo of the teacher and if you mean 30 of those then I imagine kids can zoom by these pretty quick? I plan on doing math every day...does this mean I would finish a level (or book like alpha...) in a month? I think I heard you say in the video one hundred and something days? But also, a lesson a week only? I am asking all this because even though my daughter is at double digits and Gould really move on to multiplication and larger digits I would then start her at alpha with her younger brother to try and see if she can develop better strategies...sorry for the long post!

Thank you 🙏

It looks like math u see could benefit from a spiral binding so kids can use the blocks on the top of the books a little easier.

Does this program have word problems for real life scenarios in which to use math concepts? From what I saw in this video it looks like just computations.

No captions available for the video :-(

What sites do you use for used manipulatives?

I haven't taken a good look at Math U See until now and I'm intrigued. It looks like there's a certain way of teaching since the beginning so would it be difficult for an upcoming 3rd grader to jump in with Beta or even Gamma? We're looking for a change.

hI, until what level do the kids use the blocks?

They teach multiplication different, right?

Thank you for your video!! My I will have a 1st grad daughter and a 4th grade son this year. My son struggles in math and grasping some of the concepts. We did Abeka last year (it was our 1st year homeschooling) I really think this is the way we should go. Question do we order it and then just start in Primer or since my son is probably past level with being in 4th grade this next year have him do the next one up (Alpha)? Is Primer where a 1st grader would start? Thank you so much for any help I really appreciate any help in this area!

Excellent video, thank you for sharing. No cons imo. 👍

I was considering using this curriculum for my 4 year old so I took the placement test and it suggested alpha. Do you think this would be to challenging for a 4 year old?

Does math u see teach metric?

Is Math U See "common core"?

I think the blandness of the workbooks is a pro not a con 😅 I find the flashy colors so distracting. However, I ended up buying Right Start Math 😁

I feel like watching a promo video. I don't hear con, you sound like a typical salesperson selling or promoting a product. I would appreciate it if you make an honest review.
