Changed Our Homeschool!
Review byMC
I can't say enough good things about this math curriculum! We started with another math curriculum for 1st grade, and suffered through it until almost May. We homeschool through the summer and I knew something needed to change. Math was causing tears, and the constant hands on activities with manipulatives were so distracting! It was taking us HOURS to do 1 math lesson! I ordered Masterbooks Math Lessons For a Living Education Level 1 so we could refresh, reboot, and reset our view on math over the summer. IT CHANGED OUR HOMESCHOOL!!! Math is now our favorite subject! The stories with Charlie and Charlotte are absolutely adorable and my child begs me to read more! I am so thankful for this math curriculum! It saved our homeschool! My student is CONFIDENT now! Yes, the approach is more gentle, but that isn't a bad thing! We tried the more rigorous route and I can say with 100% certainty, my student is RETAINING so much more information and ASKING to do more math!

Easy to Use
Review byEmilie
My 1st Grader loves this math book. I love this math book! It’s repetitive so I don’t feel like I need to supplement to understand. It’s easy to teach and follow along with the story. It’s just been so enjoyable to use and watch my kiddo grow in her knowledge of math and God!

Love the gentle approach

Absolutely love!
Review byAmy
The best 1st grade option out there. I knew this was the right choice when they are learning about shapes and in the story the Grandmother relates a circle with a wedding ring and the love in marriage and the love of God, how love never ends. Relating math with the love of God is growing not just knowledge but hearts! We enjoy the stories about the Grandparents farm and garden very much. This is my 2nd time using this and I am so happy to get to go through it again!

Part school work. Part story book. Highly recommend!
Review byHolly
My family loves the Math Lessons for a Living Education series! The lessons are laid out in understandable "bite size" pieces. The continuing story that plays throughout the entire book brings brings the math concepts to life and makes them more than an abstract idea. The illustrations, style and layout appeal to my love of pretty textbooks. My son looked forward to doing his math everyday. That's a huge win!

Wonderful!
Review bySarah
I love how this book makes math so fun! We started our 4 yr old on Level 1 since he already knew all of his numbers, skip counting, and simple addition/subtraction. The first couple of weeks have been review for him, but he is still enjoying it! He loves hearing about the twins’ adventures on the farm, and I can tell that these review chapters are setting him up for success for when the material becomes more challenging!
