We LOVED this, started in pre alg and finished with Alg 2. Non mathy child, precious public, private, Saxon and teaching textbooks. We did one lesson a week. Lesson Monday then tue-thur child did the lessons split up, we chatted on Friday.
This video is so helpful. My daughter is doing TGTB level 5 math (she’s 13) and there have been tears and frustrations. She doesn’t like to watch the videos either. She’s on the geometry section of measuring angles and she can’t get it. I think something this “basic” looking, black and white math will help her so much. Plus, I love the breakdown of the answers in the back, which TGTB doesn’t do. Thank you for doing this flip through ❤
“Teach it like I love it..” …love that! My youngest and I have been going through basic geometry and it has been tough for me. I can’t believe how much I blocked out of geometry🤦🏻♀️ I’m learning with him again. Haha! Thank you for all you do!
We actually started learn math fast book 1 for my fifth and third grader at the beginning of this month, so I was curious about what the books looked like going forward! Thanks for the flip through and encouragement. I like math but was a little reserved on if I could actually teach it lol
Does vol 1 teach math fact memorization? Or the process of addition subtraction multiplication and division? My son also has ADHD and math fact fluency has been hard for him.
It does both. They have timed tests to pass for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and maybe basic division related to multiplication facts (can’t recall at the moment). That serves for fact memorization. I will not let my daughter move forward without passing the test. She has had to retake them several times and it’s slow going but she is progressing, and the timed tests are (for us) much more engaging and effective than flash cards. The process is taught first and then there is a timed test for a set of facts. Then more instruction, then another test, and so on. It’s the thing that has worked the best for both my non-math loving daughters, and it has also worked well for my math-inclined son. The first book covers all basic arithmetic and multiple “grades”. Telling time not covered, so that would have to be taught separately for a child using this from Kindergarten or with no previous experience with that.
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife does that mean you don’t have to use book 4 before moving on to algebra? Would it work to save book 4 for high school geometry?
Hi Ashley! This is JK Mergens, author of the Learn Math Fast System! Thanks for the review! Please contact me! I can send you a set of Smart Cards, and guess what? Our books have some color ink now!
My sons started these last year and will be picking back up in the new school year. Thanks for sharing!

I love hearing that! I am so glad it worked for your family!

I hope that it works out for her.

I’m going to be relearning myself🤣

You can do it!
I haven't heard of this one. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, it does. It works heavily on math fact fluency.
Thanks for sharing. Could this be used as a supplement?
Yes, absolutely!
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife thank you!
So just to clarify, you did volume 1, 2, then 4….then 3 and 5…right?
Here is our order so far: 1,2,3,5,7
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife does that mean you don’t have to use book 4 before moving on to algebra? Would it work to save book 4 for high school geometry?
No, you don’t have to. We did Algebra for 9th grade. We are using both Geometry books for 10th grade.
My son has adhd and hates to read, do you have any recommendations for history and science?
We really like the history and science from Masterbooks. Lessons are short and get right to the point.

Hey there! We love Learn Math Fast! It has been such a game changer for my son.
