Math-U-See

Highlights & Tips

Math-U-See is a gentle program with colorful math manipulatives and uncluttered black and white student workbook pages. The elementary series focuses on just a couple of main topics per grade. Every level has an instructor guide and approximately 30 instructional videos for the parent educator. The videos can also be helpful for students.

While Math-U-See can benefit students who need a slow approach and lots of repetition over an extended period of time, the program does not generally provide the challenge and appropriate range of skills expected at each grade level, especially in the 1st-5th grade Greek letter series. This elementary series may also have trouble holding the interest of some learners, who might prefer a greater variety of topics to work on during the school year.

Families considering Math-U-See should carefully weigh the pros and cons of using this program, and if your child does use it, please ask about great supplements to complement the instruction.
