    My son loved this curriculum!
    Second time through with kid number two!
    Review by Tamara
    This math program is brilliant. It's gentle but effective. The lessons are short enough for the student not to be overwhelmed and there is so much stealth review built in! My oldest enjoyed this math curriculum from piggy level until she ran out of levels and now my youngest is enjoying it.
    always great!
    Review by Jessica
    We used Masterbooks for K, and I am not surprised that level 1 math is also great! Quick, but packed with so much. My daughter has a love for numbers, and I thank Masterbooks for helping with that! With efficient material that we can build on and grow into.
    Wonderful!
    Review by Faith Trail Momma
    This is exactly what my daughter needed to get her numbers down. Before starting this curriculum, my daughter wrote most of her numbers backwards. The repetition of the numbers, really helped her. We were able to work ahead and get through this level fairly quickly. She really enjoyed the story throughout the lessons and was always excited to do her piggy math!
    Easy for parents, fun for kiddos
    Review by Jess
    This was our 5th year homeschooling, 1st year using MasterBooks. My now 7-year-old LOVES math. We started the school year September '25 and he's set to finish level 1 math and language arts in 2 weeks. He has loved MasterBooks and besides telling time being "boring", he has loved every lesson and usually asks if he can do extra. We'll definitely be sticking with MasterBooks!
    Math for every learning style
    Review by JoyfulMommy
    Our family has been using Math Lessons for A Living Education since our oldest was in first grade. It has been perfect for our family as it works for all different learning styles - from our artistic and nature-loving ones to more logical thinkers. The story line keeps their interest and brings math applications to life, while reinforcing godly character and worship of the Creator.

    This series is designed to be developmentally appropriate, so you will see lighter work loads that build with each level (and graduates of this series are well-prepared for Principles of Mathematics). If we need extra practice with a concept, we pull in some pages from Practice Makes Perfect and the various activities help to reinforce what we are learning. (PMP has also been helpful to keep math skills sharp through the summer!)

    The only thing I wish were different is math facts memory work. I feel like the facts are introduced in kind of random order, and while there are a lot of prompts to review, it is easy to skip over them since it is not actually written into the curriculum. Obviously that responsibility falls on the teacher, but it would be helpful to have it more thoroughly incorporated. Overall though, I love this series and wish it had been around when I was a child!
    Great Layout & Schedule
    Review by Whitleys Mama
    I am a very busy Mama. I work weekends as a pediatric nurse so that I am able to homeschool my child during the week. We have tried 3 prior curriculums and there was more time put into planning and preparing for each week than there was in actually working on the assignments. This left me exhausted and my child and I extremely frustrated. I love the simplicity of this math book. The schedule is already made out for you, and easy to follow along. My son was so excited when he flipped through his new math book and ready to start. I love how there's so much Biblical teaching throughout the lessons, keeping myself and my child centered on what's most important, "Christ."
    Gentle and engaging
    Review by Samantha
    A wonderful introduction to math for young learners. The gentle lessons, engaging stories, and hands-on activities make learning feel natural and fun.
    My 6 year old loves his piggy math
    Review by Marissa
