I really wanted to like this books, but there were several things about it that were problematic:- There is no explanation of the concepts. Basically either the child needs an adult who can explain them without help from the book or it needs to be used as a review only. By itself, it is not a curriculum book.- The stories have no relation to the material. There are stories of this family and their adventures, but no direct correlation to the material, so the problems feel just like any other books.- The excessive use of religious indoctrination. I am generally ok with some religious connotation, but there are entire pages on some of these books that are about religion. Much too much even for tolerant secular homeschoolers, especially if ther isn't enough living math anywhere to justify using these books.
Great series and love that the focus is on real life manipulatives. We loosely follow a Charlotte Mason method - we do a ton of life learning and flexible schedules and child-led learning but needed a focused math curriculum to supplement where my daughter needed extra guidance. She has spectrum difficulties and needs a lot of active hands on and SHORT lessons - this is perfect. I can skip over the chapters easily when we don't need to use that part. We do use an abacus which is not explained in this series, but is incredibly helpful as a tool (to teach not to use limited finger counting) - as well as the Math U See manipulatives (which aren't needed but we already had them and really love them - similar concepts are used so this isn't necessary, just wanted to share). The only real con I've found is that the "problems" aren't numbered and we don't write in the books so we can practice writing more and keep our portfolio more organized - so pairing what's in a notebook to what's on the page can be a little difficult. Overall, love it!
I really love this sweet curriculum. There's a sweet storyline every week that centers around a family with a brother and sister and their parents. The children are inquisitive, curious, respectful of their parents, love school and learning, kind to each other and to others and so much more. The characters are such positive role models for our children to follow and don't emphasize or make light of naughty behaviors. During the storyline, math is interwoven as being part of everyday life. It is a very gentle approach to math and especially appealing for children that hate math or struggle in math. Maybe if you are really busy people with lots of interesting projects and things going on in your life you can easily find ways to infuse math teaching moments into your everyday living. But, this kind of opportunity rarely seems to present itself in my household, or not with enough frequency to produce mastery with a concept, so something like this would be the next best thing to a living math approach to learning math.We had been using somewhat of a living approach to learning math and what we found is our child had tremendous learning gaps. She was ahead in some areas and drastically behind in other areas. I turned to this curriculum because we had never used a math curriculum before and my daughter was begging to do more math. I thought the gentle approach would help her ease into a boxed curriculum easier and not be overwhelming, nor make her feel badly about the gaps she had in her previous learning. I was concerned about a curriculum that moved too quickly, was too teacher intensive, too much drill and kill and this curriculum seemed to fit the bill.There is a story each week that introduces a new concept or builds on a previous concept. Following the story, there are 1-2 worksheets on perforated pages to practice the new concepts and continually review older concepts. So, I guess you would call this a spiral approach. The curriculum isn't 100% open and go, but it's fairly close. You don't have to read pages of teacher instruction before you even start a lesson. There are a few things they want you to cut out and laminate and assemble, but if you have manipulatives on hand, you may not have to use these. I've done more prep work than I care to admit for school stuff, so I have mainly ignored the cut outs for this curriculum and just use the plethora of manipulatives I already own that don't take more of my time to prepare. The good news is if you don't have any manipulatives then much of what you need can be found in the book. There are a handful of household items that are needed. There are daily worksheets but they aren't dull and boring. They are colorful and pretty quick to complete. Some of the tasks on the worksheets include copywork, narration, verbally explaining how you understand a concept or how you arrived at an answer, which I find extremely helpful in gauging if my child really understands the concept or needs further work. One worksheet had the child making a poster, along with some review math problems. Another worksheet has the child making their own flashcards and then reviewing previous concepts. There's a nice variety of things to do and the activities involve many different learning modalities, which I appreciate. It sometimes takes many kinds of approaches for something to stick with a student.The downsides?-The storyline drags on and while I love it, not every child wants to hear the story. My child loves math but hates the stories and now we just skip them and only do the worksheets. :-( Mom is bummed. I do however, read through the stories on my own because the teaching concepts are buried in the stories. So I have to cover that with her before she moves onto her worksheets.-The approach is very gentle, but the pace is too slow for the kid that loves math and wants to plow through it. We have resorted to doing 2-3 days of worksheets in one sitting. Although part of this problem in our case is because my child is ahead in some area and behind in other areas.In comparing this curriculum to say, Saxon math, this curriculum is a half to a full year behind similar grade for Saxon math. We are doing math in this series for 3rd grade that is covered in Saxon 2nd grade. There are things in Saxon 2nd grade that we haven't even covered yet and not sure when it will be covered. Saxon is one of the more rigorous math programs out there. Not every child is suited for the most rigorous program out there and that should be kept in mind. I'm just throwing out there how it stacks up to another math program I have on hand. I am currently using a Saxon 2nd grade workbook for drill work because, my child is weak on math facts and drill sheets were the quickest and easiest way to get her up to speed. She actually really enjoys them. (gah!) We also play games and do flash cards. Because she wants to do more advanced math, I am trying to quickly get her up to speed on the math facts to make the more advanced work easier to do.- Another downside I've noticed is there is no real instruction for the parents. There is complete assumption the parents know how to do all of the work in the books. Or that the student using the book will completely understand what is presented through the story. While it is true that I know how to do the work, I don't always know the best way on how to teach a concept. There are no suggestions or teacher tips that I can find. If the concept isn't thoroughly covered in the story or you find your kid still doesn't get it, you're on your own. The book is almost entirely written to the child and addresses the child. This issue really shows up when a concept being taught isn't the strongest. For example, I realized when my child was stumped on having to borrow multiple times while subtracting with zeros in the subtrahend, I wasn't sure entirely how to describe that to her. I had to really think through it and practice a few times before I told her the wrong way (which I had already done before). The book did a very cursory explanation on this. Another time, we ran into an issue with rounding. The book had her picking the rounded number from multiple choice between two options. All of the sudden the next week they had her rounding money decimals. She had never come up with a rounded number on her own up to this point, only chosen the answer from multiple choice and now they were combining the concept of rounding hundreds and rounding money all at the same time and she had to write it out. She was pretty darn confused and I had to come up with an impromptu lesson and exercises completely on the fly about rounding that bridged the gap that these lessons were missing. I don't really like that about this book and find it off-putting. Luckily for me, I'm pretty good at math, but for the parent that isn't as confident, these kinds of situations might be unnerving when you're expecting the curriculum to be thorough.- I'm finding this curriculum takes me more time to implement. When we first started the curriculum, my child's reading was weak. I had to read the story. Then I had to paraphrase the teaching concept. Then I had to pull out the manipulatives and show that example if it called for that. Then I had to read the directions and make sure she understood them before I turned her over to do her worksheets. Math was taking a big chunk out of our day.I can see how this curriculum would be great for some children that dread math and really struggle. This is very colorful and engaging curriculum that provides several ways to learn things. For us it helped us ease into a more boxed curriculum and helped us try to fill in missing concepts, but even for that it is dragging on too slowly. I think we are just going to have to move forward with another math program and just fill in missing concepts as we run into them. Otherwise, I fear this may eventually turn my child off of math in the long run.
My girls have loved this curriculum so much more than any other. The stories and short lessons keep them engaged. They often want to do more than one in a single sitting. The reviews through out help keep the information fresh. It's presented in a way that shows how math is used in the real world. Having a godly message is a plus along with the twins in the story being homeschooled giving someone my girls can relate to.
We started with the other two levels and the older editions, but I really like this updated edition and my son loves following Charlotte and Charlie through their adventures.
My son is a HUGE reader, and is so happy that he gets to read part of the story as part of each lesson. I bought level 3 to use as a review, and I will be ordering level 4 for sure! We don't do 1 page per day, I have him complete an entire lesson in one sitting. But again, it's more of a review at this point. As it gets harder for him, I may try the "page a day" method, we'll see.
We have struggled with finding a math my twins want to do and can understand. We have been doing this for 3 days and have completed 3 weeks worth of lessons!
This is our first year doing Masterbooks Math, and our son went from tears every time with math last year to asking to do this math! The story that goes along with teachings is also geographical teachings which has peaked his interest in as well of the country the characters are in.
