This was fun! My older girls use MM, and I do like it for them well. My little boys have used MWC, and I am not sure how we will move them forward in the future. Both such good curriculums!

Are the pages perforated for easy removal for the reader books and word and letter tiles? I am a busy mom of five soon six kids and I am so scared to teach my upcoming first grader to read. We were using All About Reading but it’s becoming too much for me with so many kids to keep up with so I am looking for something simpler.

How manageable do you think math with confidence is for 3 students for a first time mom homeschooler of a 3rd 1st and kindergartner? My kindergartner is supposed to go to first but they wanted to hold him back due to him not picking up on math as well as others. Kinda worried about it being a little too easy and if I could introduce level 1. Idk 🤦🏼♀️

We love Math with Confidence! My son just finished level 2 & we will be jumping into level 3!!! Super solid curriculum. Gathering suggested manipulates the night before really helps with the lesson flow!! ☺️

I agree! It’s definitely a solid curriculum and yes, that’s the one thing I always tell others about this curriculum, prepping the materials before hand is super helpful.

Thank you so much!!! These are actually the two I’m debating between for next year (although a different grade), so it was awesome to see a comparison of the two curricula. I think we are going to go with Math Mammoth, as well, as my son just wants to do the work and be done, and gets annoyed if we have to play games before he can do the work lol. Thank you!

I definitely think that it’s important to note that Abeka’s workbooks are not meant to be used alone with out any instruction. Even at the 1-3 grade level. It’s is imperative to have the lesson plans that are very well laid out. If not using the lesson plan books then the video lessons are excellent. Too many time when I hear that Abeka just doesn’t teach the concepts clearly and it’s just memorization, I question if they are actually using the lesson plans or even watches the video lessons.

Yea, I think someone else mentioned that in another comment. No, I wasn’t using the teacher’s guide and videos. What it came down to is the fact that this was not the first spiral approach math curriculum we’d done. My son has done a lot better with a mastery approach. There were many other factors considered before making a switch: us living overseas, I would’ve needed to place another order for the videos and teacher book (international shipping is a pain) Budget: in addition to international shipping, Abeka was not the most budget friendly for us when calculating the cost of teacher book, videos, and student book Learning style Overall academic goal for math for this particular child, etc. I say all that to highlight that sometimes, even if you may not have purchased all the bells and whistles for a curriculum, you can still pinpoint what isn’t working for a child or your family. We decided to go with Math Mammoth and it turned out to be a great decision. While you may question how a curriculum is being implemented, which is a good question to ask, I think you also have to take into account other factors that may be involved in their decision to switch.

Great review. As I'm looking through examples in the Daily Grams on the Easy Grammar website, I was wondering if the material in the Daily Gram is covered in the Easy Grammar text. It seems like the student needs to know a lot about verbs, nouns, pronouns, capitalization, contractions.... etc. in the Daily Gram examples. I understand all of these parts of speech, but if it's not been covered in the Easy Grammar book prior to the Daily Gram lesson page, how would a student know all that is asked of them in a Daily Gram? Does that question make sense?
@onecaffeinatedmom 4 ай бұрын
Yep makes total sense! I do think in order to complete Daily Grams (at least independently) they’d need to have already been exposed to various topics in grammar. We started using this system in 3rd grade so I’m not sure what the grade books prior look like. I will say that the topics you see practiced in Daily Grams are covered throughout Easy Grammar eventually. What I have done is basically treat Daily Grams like an introduction to certain topics. I’ll explain the correct answer to a question but not go in depth until we reach that point in Easy Grammar.

It’s so nice to hear from you again! Do you plan to eventually transition your younger boys from MWC to Math Mammoth? If so, what grade would you make that transition? I have loved MM for my math minded 8 year old, however it is not going so well for my 6 year old first grader and I’m thinking about changing her over to MWC which would add manipulatives and games. I don’t want her to hate math, especially as a first grader! But I do love MM and now that I’ve done 3 levels I can see the progression and it is so SOLID! And it has been around to kind of stand the test of time versus MWC.

let me know how you use Real World Math. I just discovered it and want to use it too at random times. My son has asked when he gets a cell phone (when he is mature enough to be responsible) and I would love to show him how much it would cost and how it impacts income etc. Maybe have him plan a meal that he would eat when he leaves home for college or job and have him estimate food cost vs reality when he goes to the store and calculates? I do not even know if this is in the book I just saw the cover and hoped it has something like that.

We found math mannoth dry!!! He definitely needs a strong math foundation m!!! I make sure my daughter who is going into the medical field is strong in math!!! She fights me but then I tell her a heart surgeon needs strong math!!! We broke up language arts for my teens and I love it as they aren’t doing grammar unless I see they need it!!! I don’t question it with their writing assignments but I see that they have it down!!! We love MWC!!! I feel it gives a good foundation!!! I love to mix math curriculums when needed!!! We love memory work!!! My teenagers do it as well but I’ll make up memory statements of things I want them to learn!!! I bought a lot of crafts for us to do as a family and we’ve been loving it!!! My teenagers are doing the lord of the rings literature study by were’d you learn that!!! I agree with you on her literature studies!!! I love it when my kids can speak with native speakers!!! It sounds like your schedule is working for you!!!
@onecaffeinatedmom 5 ай бұрын
😂 oh yes, Math Mammoth is absolutely dry, but it gets straight to the point, which seems to be the common preference with our boys. I agree that MWC gives a good foundation, which is why I am still keeping it as an option for my younger ones. Memory work has been really helpful! I do wish I had been more organized with it so we could be consistent with it sooner.

This was such a necessary video, and thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing such difficult times from your adolescence with us. I see so many parallels in my own academic journey in public school that you mentioned. Literally, mom guilt hit me hard here as a mother to another gifted kid. Stopping to ask myself, "am I being what I needed" I think is something I'm going to have to incorporate a lot more from now on. I actually think that's just fantastic parental advice in general, so thank you 💛 I might have to make a video like this myself.
@onecaffeinatedmom Жыл бұрын
That's a really great practice to have! You're right in that it is something that could really apply to parenting in general. You should make a video! There are a lot of parents of gifted kids who feel pretty lost in how to approach certain things with them, so hearing from adults like ourselves I think can be really helpful.

We memorize together just with hand motions, we did 1 cor 13, Ps 91, Col 1: 15-23 for instance and even the 4 yo go a LOT of it. We just did 1 verse added a week-ish and they earned a piece of candy every time they got it right then they got a toy after they could do the entire passage correctly. It BLEW MY MIND, I was skeptical it would work, but God 😁. Ages 12 to 4 yo. My kids aren’t special in this I promise!

I was just thinking yesterday that I may need to incorporate hand motions to make it easier. It's amazing that even the younger ones are able to retain passages!
