We started using an abacus this year for the first time. HUGE difference!!!

I am using BJU kindergarten math this year with my kindergartner. It has been a good fit for her. I plan on using BJU next year for math for her. My other kids are using Math-U-See, but she needed a spiral approach to math.

That's what I like about homeschooling, you can cater differently for each child. I'm glad you figured out what works for them👍🏼👍🏼

Does the teachers manual add much to the workbook?
@MommaSchmoozeReviews3 ай бұрын
I'm not sure, I never had one for this grade. If you go to the BJU website you can see inside a teacher guide for this specific grade 😀

Do you need anything else for grade 3 Math (example manipulatives or extra worksheets)? Or is this (student workbook) sufficient as is?
@MommaSchmoozeReviews2 ай бұрын
I think the student book is sufficient but I think I might have used flashcard games and an abacus 🧮 Not sure if I used the abacus in 3rd or not but we had one for the ower grades. Hope this helps!!!

Maybe I missed it but is there an assessment for each chapter along the way to kind of progress monitor?
@MommaSchmoozeReviews Жыл бұрын
There are reviews at the end of each chapter 👍

Did they teach how to skip count from 6-9 in grade 2? My daughter is in 3rd grade but she still need to practice those. I guess we can start after she finishes multiplication 2-5 chapter though.

Yes, they do learn it I 2nd grade and 1st in this specific curriculum. I love teaching skip counting on an abacus! Or fun things like candy or lego.

For some reason I always associate BJU with online learning.
@MommaSchmoozeReviews3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I can see why. A lot of YT videos are more about BJU online but you can choose to teach from the workbooks like any other curriculum. They have great resources!

Do you use the teachers manuals? I’ve heard they are geared towards a classroom and can be hard to adapt for homeschool.
@MommaSchmoozeReviews3 жыл бұрын
No, I didn't purchase the teachers manual. So far I haven't needed one yet.
@MommaSchmoozeReviews3 жыл бұрын
I'm sure they are helpful...I might have to in the later grades

Is this BJU press? I love how this looks but when I go on their website it shows me a different book
@MommaSchmoozeReviews2 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is BJU. Maybe this edition is not current, this one was the newest edition when I used it. Are you looking at the same level?
@jaymewilson8873 жыл бұрын
Can you just use the textbook or would I need to have the other books as well?
@MommaSchmoozeReviews3 жыл бұрын
I've only used the student books, so far I haven't needed a teacher guide but it is probably helpful if you need extra help explaining the concepts. I'm sure I will need one for later grades.

Do you know if this is common core?
@MommaSchmoozeReviews3 жыл бұрын
I don't think they follow it but I'm sure it covers all the math skills needed for each grade.
Whats the difference between this one and the 3rd edition
@MommaSchmoozeReviews3 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure, the 4th one is just revised but not exactly sure the revisions made. You can probably get more information on it BJU's website.

Do you feel this math curriculum solidifies math facts well? Or do you find yourself having to work with your student independently to get them down pat?
@MommaSchmoozeReviews2 жыл бұрын
I think it's a great curriculum, it teaches using the spiral-method- basically it goes over concepts throughout the book and reviews older concepts taught. I think it also depends on the child and if they are natural at math or not. Some students might need more help no matter what curriculum they use. I still use this with my kids and highly recommend it 👍🏼 Hope this helps!

Like the colors and pictures, but looks like common core correct me if I am wrong.He does not enjoy common core and I am not good at math. Thanks for sharing.
