Math U See Did Not Work for Us

by Carol
(United States)

Visitor Homeschool Curriculum Review: I heard so many great reviews of Math U See from the parents in our homeschool group and decided to try it. Hands-on Math sounded like a lot of fun to my kids.

It was one of the biggest mistakes in homeschooling so far.

Our kids did not enjoy it AT ALL. They hated watching the video and dreaded doing their math. The blocks do not make sense to them.

We have gone back to the good old fashioned math that is less hands-on.

Same Here..
by: Anonymous

My 2nd grade ADHD, SPD son is having the same experience with Math-U-See. Can't follow the videos,(even when I pause and explain) doesn't get the manipulatives at all, and really stresses everyday about math lessons.

I am new to homeschooling, took him out at Christmas when I realized he wasn't learning to his full potential in the special ed classes in public school.

One day he gets it fine, other days he has no idea. Very distractable and hard to keep on task. Not sure how to reach through the wall. Very worried about multiplication and division since he still has not memorized adding numbers 1 - 20.

Can you recommend another curriculum or method of teaching math? we are currently stuck at adding multiple numbers, adding more than 2 digit numbers with carrying, and subtraction with borrowing. Money sometimes throws him off with the decimal, but he's getting it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
