For more than 20 years Math-U-See’s renowned mastery-based, multisensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a complete, comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See’s systematic, precept-upon-precept math program.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With simple, uncluttered pages, Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and effective. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step in a logical order, while concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short and there are lots of opportunities for multi-sensory experiences, using tools such as videos and manipulatives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders, if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals, however, are hardcover books and should last the life of your teaching career. Complete answer keys with solutions are included for all problems at all levels, more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement, they are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials though the use of Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra\/Decimal Inserts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike our other math programs, Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible, but to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan, and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See’s teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem, they also show why the problem is solved in this manner, and when to apply the concept. On the DVDs, each lesson is demonstrated with such kind-hearted enthusiasm, I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every Math-U-See Primer set purchased from us will also include the new Digital Packs. Accessible through any internet browser, you will have streaming video versions of Math-U-See’s Instructional DVD, a PDF of the Instruction Manual, access to an online version of their Digital Manipulatives, and convenient links to a number of their free online resources. The Primer Digital Pack also includes Skip Count Songs mp3s. \u003cspan\u003eLifetime a\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eccess to all of these resources is included free with the purchase of the Math-U-See\u003c\/span\u003e Primer Curriculum set.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has ‘mastered’ a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he is able to do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child an exceptionally solid mathematical foundation; if your child is shaky on the basics; or if you are just looking for a no-frills, common sense program; you are sure to be pleased with Math-U-See. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat Is Taught In The Primer Level?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Major Concepts and Skills Include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCounting objects and developing numeracy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding place value\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRecognizing number names and symbols\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eReading and writing numerals\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding addition and subtraction with concrete and representational models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding and writing the symbols +, – and =\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAddition and subtraction of select numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Additional concepts and skills:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eTelling and writing time by hours and minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRecognizing \u0026amp; drawing rectangles, squares, and circles\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMeasuring length by repeating units\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroducing halves and fourths\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCounting by 2s, 5s, 10s, and 100s\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eReading, writing, \u0026amp; interpreting word problems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIn What Order Do I Use the Math-U-See Levels?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are seven books for elementary grades which can be used in the following order: Primer, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta.
