    Helps understand courses
    Review by Charlotteak
    I have multiple kids who will be working through the math books. It’s nice to read through and learn about each level. I have a better idea of how to teach the concepts.
    Very helpful!
    Review by Raising Two Shepherds
    Great addition to the math books. It is super helpful and has all of the extras that are not included in the kids math books themselves, such as recipes. I definitely recommend getting this alongside your child's math book. 
    Nice
    Review by Laura
    I am so glad that I added this to my book sets. It is so nice to have this as a reference having kids in multiple grades.
    Very Useful
    Review by Shun
    I have two children who have been in the Lessons for a living education Math courses and I didn't realize how helpful this resource was. It is the reason I purchased the flash cards for multiplication and division to help my daughter understand her math problems. It has definitely been very helpful in explaining how to proceed with each level and how to use the resources. Thank you Master Books!
    LOVE the philosophy!
    Review by FelixFam
    I was reading Part 1in the Teaching Companion in a doctors waiting room this morning, and it brought tears to my eyes. I took a picture of the page and sent it to my homeschool mama friends to encourage them. One of them in particular does not feel qualified to homeschool her son because "she doesn't have a teaching degree." The picture struck up a conversation that encouraged her to believe she is able, cable, and qualified!
    Also, I wholeheartedly believe that Math is just as important as all other subjects, and the subject magnifies the character of God just as much as the other core subjects. I cannot wait to begin this school year - thank you, Master Books, for producing Math Lessons for a Living Education. My kids are just as excited to begin as I am!
    Great info for those new to the course
    Review by Lisa
    As a newcomer to this curriculum, I appreciated hearing the author's heart and gaining a better understanding of some of the approaches used in the book. The first section is personal encouragement for the parents teaching the course. There is a section that shows which manipulatives are included in each course (these are sample pages only and not reproducible at all; I would give 5 stars if reproducibles were included because sometimes you need a manipulative from a different course as review for a student). Different tips are included for students that need additional activities or ways to interact with the concepts. The recipes for all of the levels are included as well. Overall this is an easy read, a great encouragement, and a wonderful additional resource to the Math Lessons for a Living Education curriculum.
    Didn't benefit us
    Review by Kristin
    I felt like I didn't need this to fully utilize the series. We do minimal book work and this just wasn't the kind of tool we need for our approach to schooling.
    Encouraging
    Review by Jessie
    I got this to make sure I was prepared for teaching math lessons best to suit the series. I had already attended a live summit and heard the author speak about the material and had watched videos. So I don't feel i needed this. If I hadn't already prepared so much before getting this I think it would've been helpful. I recommend for someone new to her math series that is unfamiliar with the style.
    Extremely helpful!
    Review by Bobbi
    I just now got around to reading this (in preparation for next year) and am so glad I did! The author starts out giving sort of a "pep talk" about how parents are qualified to teach their children. She then proceeds to give an overview of how the system works, ideas for adapting to different situations, and a breakdown of specific notes for each level. This is followed by a section on games -- ideas for game to facilitate learning, how and when to use them, etc. I know that I will be rereading this and referencing it many times over the next few years. Very happy I bought it!
    Helpful and organized well
    Review by Rachel
    Easily organized by grade, sections in this teaching guide book provide more enriching activities to compliment the regular textbook. Doesn't require an entire vacation to read, and easy to implement any suggestions.
