Rebecca, what are your thoughts on using level 6-8 for a child turning six? I have read the overview for the level before this and she has pretty well mastered everything except a few things (subtraction up to 20 and measurement mostly; she has been introduced to data and graphing, place value, and time and has picked up on that quite well). I worry that 5-7 will not challenge her and we won’t get our moneys worth out of it, but also that 6-8 may be too challenging. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!
I love Moving Beyond the Page but their instruction guides are very stressful to me. I find them pretty dense and overwhelming. They don't seem scripted at all. Shiller Math is. I wish I could do this Math and their other subjects but I can't.
I just bought the first semester to put it to the test in my homeschool. I am searching for a math curriculum that I love and want to stick with. My daughter is very bright and enjoys math. Finishing Kindergarten now. I really like Horizon which is what I've used for K but, I am looking for something more hands on. Moving beyond the page seems to be what I'm looking for so 1 month should really give me a taste for it and then I can buy the whole curriculum. I love that they do that. Others curriculum you have to buy everything and then find out it doesn't fit your family. Thank you for this review it was an excellent review and really gave me a full understanding of what the curriculum is all about and that helped me make the decision to buy. I watched your review several times before finally making a decision. Thanks again.
I know a few families who use this curriculum and love the rigor. They bought the whole curriculum package for all subjects. I'm considering it. Thanks for the review!
@@HomeschoolKnockouts haha! I am trying to figure out what to do for 6th grade. We have been doing Saxon but I think he wants to change it up.. maybe we will try ‘teaching textbooks’ or dimension Singapore math .. soo confused 😬
How did you get the printed lesson plans? I have online version of 10-12 (not math, just LA and Science/Social Studies), and the LP are not in a spiral binder like yours. Did you make that yourself? Thank you for all the tips over the years
Sara Coulson eventually I discovered that if you buy online version, the LPs are not included. And they charge about $12 apiece, and we have 24 units here. I’ve been printing and binding just the pages that are relevant to us and it’s a real pain! I didn’t know anybody else who was using MBTP at the time I purchased, otherwise I would’ve understood this important distinction. So FYI people, don’t buy the online version. The only advantages are that the links are clickable and the kid can type answers to the questions online. But even after they do that, it has to be printed because the typing disappears the moment the window is closed.
I am trying to decide between the Moving Beyond the Page Math and Rightstart Math curriculums for my 9 year old. How would you compare the 2 to each other?
I love the Moving Beyond the Page literature based curriculum. I really liked it, and I was able to do it with all of my kids. It’s so nice to see what their math curriculum looks like. I think If we used this, I might use it as a supplement. We do Math Mammoth right now. I’ve done Singapore and Make Math Meaningful.
Hello, my son is 9. He knows simple addition and subtraction. He can skip count by two, five, and ten. He knows how to count money as well. He does not know place value. The placement test said if he doesn't know place value then he should be in age 5-7, but that seems very young for him. What do you suggest?
I suggest moving to the one after 5/7 I think it's 6/8 that one it's fairly easy but challenging enough for your child. What grade is he supposed to be?
I am trying to find another math curriculum that is similar to this without the hefty price tag. I've spent money on numerous math curics, and my daughter doesn't enjoy the workbook style method of learning with math. She was intrigued with your video and the activities to help learn math. Can anybody suggest a similar curic? I looked at Right Start Math, and do not see the similarities! I'm looking for an activity / unit study based math without having to put together a unit study myself.
