We have 7 kids and our oldest 2 have been using the curriculum to teach their siblings second and first grade. They have told me they have gotten better at their facts and learned terms they didn’t know or didn’t remember. I recommend your course to every homeschool mom- it is the best for math skills with relationship building in simple fun ways. Thank you for this great curriculum!!
My daughter loves Math with Confidence. Thank you! I was just wondering what your thoughts are on using "jumps" on the number line for addition and subtraction in first grade?
Great question! I prefer not to use them in the younger grades, since they encourage kids to count one-by-one to find answers for addition and subtraction. (And if you're using MWC, you know I'm all about subitizing at that stage!) Instead, I introduce number lines in second grade, after kids have a good mastery of subitizing and have already started to master the addition and subtraction relationships. Happy Math!
Thank you so much for the reply! My daughter is attending an enrichment program and I usually don't put my kiddos in any of the math classes because of subjects like this, but thanks to you and MWC she absolutely loves math and begged to go to math class so I relented this year. Now I am just concerned that the methods they use will confuse her or discourage her love of math. My daughter and I are both looking forward to Second Grade Math with Confidence. Thank you so much for everything you do!
Hi Kay, you can take a look at the projected scope and sequence for the whole series here: kateshomeschoolmath.com/math-with-confidence-homeschool-math-curriculum/ Happy Math!

What a lovely way for siblings to bond! So glad it's working well for your family, and happy math!

Such a great book! I used it this summer with my youngest student and wiiiiish my older kids could have used it back in the day!
So glad your youngest enjoyed it!
Thank you, Kate! Excellent work.
This looks fantastic! I can't wait to use it with my daughter :).
Hi Kate, may I ask what all the 2nd Grade book will cover?

@@kateshomeschoolmathhelp1275 Thank you!!
Is measurement in inches or cm/m? Or can it be used for either
Both are included, and it's designed to work for families that use both measurement systems.
Hi Kate
How are you today?🌷🌻
