Hey there! Let's do a comparison with Math With Confidence and Right Start Math. I have used both of these amazing Math Curriculum and I'd love to share with you how Right Start and MWC are similar and how they are different. Plus I'm sharing which one I have chosen to use for my family and our homeschooling needs.

What a great video, Ashley! I especially love your message about how there is no perfect curriculum, at the end, you just have to pick one and use that choice with confidence.

Just FYI, yes, the 2nd edition of RightStart addresses those cons of flow and separating the why and the what. The 2nd edition is also not “new”. The first of the levels was released 9 years ago and the set was completed 3 years ago. I would definitely look into 2nd edition rather than 1st if you are a new user deciding where to start. RS goes through middle school math and includes pre-algebra concepts, so students are ready for algebra when they are done. (RS does not have algebra.) Also, point of clarification: RightStart Is not purely mastery. There is more to the spiral than just the warm ups. There are also many concepts that are introduced conceptually in lower levels that aren’t taught fully until later levels. The beauty and usefulness of this becomes evident the further up you go, especially in Level E and Level F when traditionally “hard” concepts that were introduced in earlier levels turn out to be no problem at all when they are fully taught. As to the price, there is a trade off in time-cost of gathering household odds and ends to use for manipulatives vs. having specific items on hand to grab as you teach, not to mention piecemeal costs of having to buy anything you don’t happen to have on hand.

Thank you so much! This was super helpful! I do wish some days I would have stuck with it and went all the way through. It's such a great program.

Yes, I had tried First Edition a few years ago and hated it, but I kept coming back to RSM because of their foundation. I ordered second edition this time and I’m loving it. I homeschool kids with learning disabilities and their improvement in math is just amazing.

Knowing YOURSELF as a teacher and your family situation matters so much in planning curriculum. Dealing with a lot of moving parts is not my natural style--I like the price of MWC as well as the fact that you can use more household items and fewer specific manipulatives.

@JoyfulNoiseLiving 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, so true, Rachel! Those are definitely pluses for me as well when it comes to MWC :)

@jessicaladd85 Жыл бұрын

So MWC is less manipulatives?

@thisrothtribe3780 2 жыл бұрын

I tried for so long to make Right Start work in our family, but with having 8 kids at the time within 9 years, I had to give it up. Now I have 10 and I definitely am glad I made changes. The newer editions of the teacher guides are laid out better, but they are STILL very teacher intensive and there is almost zero independence until the level G. I kept the games book and all manipulatives because they are amazing. Right Start is very effective and I love the WAY it teaches math, just hard to juggle with so many young kids.

@JoyfulNoiseLiving Жыл бұрын

I hear you!! 💜💜 Wow, 10 kiddos! That sounds like a lot of work with Right Start. I really do love their games and manipulatives. I find I still use those and the things I learned through using Right Start with our Math lessons.

@janeeawright1640 2 жыл бұрын

After comparing these curriculums about a month ago I decided to go with Math With Confidence K because it was very hands on like RS but the flow of lessons made more sense to me. I was a little nervous with it being a new curriculum. I’m so excited to get started on our first year of homeschool this Fall. Please continue to share your thoughts on MWC as your children move through the levels.

Hi! I don’t really know the answer if it is CC compliant 🤔 You’ll have to ask Kate Snow (the creator) or The Well Trained Mind (the publisher). Sorry I can’t help!

I’m looking at homeschooling, my son is going into 3rd grade, it is an ABC school, he is in school for 6 hrs a day, last year, he came home with 2 math pages double sided, spelling and other forms to complete every day for homework, so, I don’t see it getting any better this year, starting next week. I’m retired and could homeschool. Any thoughts.

How would math with confidence work for a Canadian? We don't have pennies anymore or dollar bills, but do have coins of loonies($1) and toonies ($2). Also we offcially have metric system, but in practice most people still use imperial

@JoyfulNoiseLiving Жыл бұрын

Hey! She gives alternative options in the lesson for Canadian currency! She provides blank coins in the back of the book that you can write 1s and 2s on. Or just use your own coins. 😊 And she does both metric and imperial measurements throughout the program. :)

@henriandjenienholtland1579 Жыл бұрын

@@JoyfulNoiseLivingbought the curriculum and liking it so far! Decided to teach in dollar amounts. Actually also makes more sense to me since "buying" a toy for $1-$5 seems more realistic then a few cents. Kinda teaches value of a dollar at the same time.

We are currently using RS level A with my 6 yo and I’m considering MWC kindergarten or first grade for my 4 year old because he is bright with math and loves workbooks. I’ve heard, though, that MWC is too easy… Did you find that to be true?

@JoyfulNoiseLiving 5 ай бұрын

I noticed my youngest FLEW through the kindergarten math, but then he slowed a little when we did First Grade. My thought is that it's fine to have easy math in kindergarten :) They are just dipping their toes in the concepts and don't need to be challenged too much just yet. I really loved the picture books and the memory work that came with MWC K and 1st. And the games to memorize the math facts. It is really more than a math workbook :) RS Level A is so similar to MWC K + 1st.
