![]() Math-U-See has been our Saving Grace for math. I strongly believe it is very important for math to be taught from the early years by teaching kids Analytical & Critical thinking together with Problem-solving skills. That’s A LOT to ask of kids of that age! Sure there are some kids who are naturally good at sorting out info even as beginner readers, but that wasn’t our case so Abeka Math wasn’t a winner for us. They were suddenly expected to read a word problem and find the data needed to solve it, all without teaching any solving strategies beforehand. ![]() Many 1st-graders are still learning how to read with confidence and understand what they read. Word problems suddenly appeared in the Arithmetic 1 book but with no teaching strategies to solve them. Although I appreciated Abeka’s straightforward method of teaching some concepts (Place value is one of them), I felt Abeka’s focus was more on memorizing math facts rather than on understanding the hows and whys. □īefore we were introduced into the magical world of Math U See, my kids were using Abeka’s Arithmetic curriculum.
