✨NEW✨ The Good + the Beautiful SIMPLE Math Curriculum // Is it actually better than the old one?

Today I'm doing a flip through of the new Simple Math curriculum from The Good + The Beautiful. We used the previous version and didn't like it, so.... what do I think about this one?

Would like to see videos of the rest of the math as they come out and other curriculum videos as well. Also would like to see how you schedule your year, what curriculums you mix and match, your approach to homeschooling multiple children at once, etc. Just some ideas. ❤ love the homeschooling videos. They are so helpful! Thank you!

[@FacetheJourney]

My 4 year old and 5 year old are working from this book. They love it and it takes no time at all to complete the lessons. Which is probably why they always want to keep going. It's short sweet and to the point. So, I give this a 👍 to anyone whose trying to decide if this will fit them. Plus I get to take my time and go through it thoroughly with my 4 year old. My 5 year old catches on very quickly.

[@jaspriest1997]

Hey 👋🏻 Primary (kindergarten/elementary) teacher here. Those subtraction stories look great- I’m sure you know but the main point of those is to make sure kiddos can pick out the relevant information in “real world” scenarios and decide what they want to do with that information to find the answer. So good to see subtraction stories catching on widely!

[@elizabethsmith6952]

You joke about how long it took you to get to the point, but this was probably your most straight forward video ever 😊

[@StarkAcre]

Can you talk about why you homeschool the way you do? Four days a week, year round, how many hours a day? Learning as much as possible before I have a kindergartner!

[@StarkAcre]

@@larissachilds2015 Thank you SO much!

[@samanthafedor6005]

We do 4 days a week as well some times 3. We have one day a week that we do co-op and library day. With some many things to fit into the schedule doing 4 days a week is much more feasible.

[@catworld8119]

On a previous video some time ago, she talked about having Friday as a day for field trip type learning activities. 😎

[@KaylaKrische]

We're about two months into the old K math curriculum. I got it when they had it on clearance. There's quite a bit we skip. Glad to see they have less "stuff"

[@laurencave8563]

Do you mind sharing what you skip? I did the same thing and I was thinking about not doing the daily dose things. It just takes so long to do those everyday.

[@RobinVoeltz]

I bought it too to save money now I am like did I make the wrong choice 😅

[@tempafigueroa9591]

And would also like to see the rest of TGATB math levels if you end up getting them!

[@Vixxen___904]

Level 2 is wonderful thus far! I love the manipulatives and the little box that keeps them all together. Check TGTB page as Jenny puts the flip throughs on there.

[@juliequates9529]

Great flip thus on TGATB channel so far

[@mommalaquidara]

We used the good and beautiful math this past year and I felt overwhelmed glad I'm not alone!

[@r3yl3w]

I love that you bought this level and don’t have a kid in level K right now. I can’t wait for the other levels to be released in August

[@celestejohansen]

We just finished TGTB Simply K Math and my daughter loved loved loved it! She also has loved the K LA and Handwriting. She is excited to add their little hands science. She finished her handwriting before we were done with school, she got so mad that she refused to do school until I printed her off some more! Ha ha

[@alejandramichelli5583]

Taught primary for 12 years, now am a stay at home mom looking into homeschooling. Glad I found you through the gardening video you made. I’m a huge proponent of manipulatives especially for young learners. Helps build number sense starting from concrete to representational to abstract and application reasoning. New subscriber.

[@kristynfedich8926]

We just bought the simply math for grade 1 ans it’s absolutely beautiful! I am a former public school teacher/reading specialist and I absolutely love this and think it is well laid out and challenging way beyond a public school curriculum. I don’t know the previous math - but I am enjoying this! Thanks for flipping through K! Do you think they will have another convention again soon!? 🤞🏻😭

[@priscillaramos3033]

I would be interested in seeing flip through videos for the other levels, thank you for sharing:)

[@staciemurray514]

Starting with homeschool this year, and went basically all in with TGATB and I cannot wait!!

[@annachris6172]

Hope you have a great homeschooling year. 🙂

[@staciemurray514]

@@annachris6172 thank you so much!

[@bestill365]

I used the old math curriculum last year and this year I'm using Simply. It is soooo much better!

[@ChristinaBiasca]

Thanks for this. I never tried the math because of how involved it was for parents. I am interested in seeing how this works for you.

AND they are giving the PDF of grades 1-5 for FREE!!! I’m so excited about how generous they are!!!

[@ourcuddlycozycatholiccorne5365]

Would love seeing flip through of the older levels too. Thanks for doing this one!

[@SimplyLivingIt]

Yay for homeschool videos! 😍 I am waiting patiently for level 3 to release... just for a glimpse!

[@SimplyLivingIt]

I LOVE YOU! 😂🤣😂 Go take that makeup off, girl!!!!!!!

[@melissajohnson8497]

Me too! We’ve loved levels 1 and 2. Can’t wait to see the newly revised level 3!!!!!

[@paigebradley9602]

We are currently using TGATB Math K the old version and I can’t wait to try the new level 1. Although I love the concept it is sometimes overwhelming and I’m looking forward to finishing this one. Thanks for the flip through!

[@annachris6172]

My little one is loving this course so far! She didn’t want to wait until the next school year. Lol

[@mamabenzing5872]

You get to use it when the twins are in kindergarten so you didn't buy it for no reason! 😁

[@tempafigueroa9591]

So excited to start this one with my kindergartner next month! Math is his favorite subject as of right now so I think he is going to really really enjoy this one.

[@corihill7321]

We loved TGTB K and 2nd grade this year, but I am excited to see how the new version flows!

[@jenfoster128]

Thanks for the flip through! I love all of your homeschool content. You are how I found TGTB 3 years ago and we have been happily using it for LA ever since :)

[@sarad.9948]

Can you do a flip through for master books too?? I loved this!

[@SimplyLivingIt]

🙋‍♀️ 4 day/week homeschoolers here too!

[@kourtneyrahn3935]

Thank you for this, I am having such a hard time choosing math this year. I would also love future grades (2nd)

[@brianamatos2607]

Waiting as patiently as I can for level 3 to be released!!! This is our first year homeschooling and we are so excited.

[@Vixxen___904]

Level 2 came out a couple weeks ago or so. We just started it this week. We love it so much more than Master Books as I’d personally rather there be “too much” than not enough.

[@evaviolet8571]

I would love to see the other levels!

[@livingcountry2428]

Thanks for sharing this! Yes, would love to see the next levels when they come out! I fell in love with TGATB when I first saw the amazing artwork and illustrations they use in their curriculum.

[@Closiebear1]

This seems so much like Kate Snow’s math. Which was FANTASTIC for us last year! Using it again for 1st grade this coming year.

[@jordancanter2764]

I’m super excited for your back to school week videos ! This is my second year homeschooling and I am loving the journey 😁

[@melindamercier6811]

I just received ours for my Kindergartener and I cannot wait for the others. I already love it, huge upgrade. The other version was so cumbersome and I had to skip so many parts of it, which made it feel like I was wasting the money spent on it all.

[@angela.braniff]

totally agree! I was so happy to see this new one.

[@jasminehartley9692]

Do you feel like this new one jumps around too much? I feel the old one jumped around and didn’t teach a concept long enough before moving on..I haven’t heard anyone say that part has changed yet

[@vitaliyab]

Thank you so much for this video! Was debating if I should get anything for my daughter and this seems so perfect for her. Please do make a video for the other levels as well! Thank you!!

[@melissajohnson8497]

I miss homeschooling videos from you! You always make me laugh! Can’t wait to see more.❤️

[@henlyhive6462]

I’m so excited to try the new curriculum. We have k and 1 and liked it but it was really time consuming. Can’t wait until levels 1-5 are released so we can try them.

[@melissap3737]

Thank you for the flip through. I would very interested in seeing the new math for grades 1-5 just in case you decide to purchase it. :)

[@summergirl9175]

I'm not sure if you've done this already, but if not, can you explain your homeschool schedule? This will be my first year homeschooling, this Fall, and I'm trying to figure out a schedule that will work for us that would also allow housework to get done etc! I'm so glad you did this video, very informative, thank you!

[@Danionna]

Loved it, thanks! I definitely would like to see every level's new math through you!

[@homeschoollifemom]

Yay homeschool content!! 🥳 my kids LOVE the original math so I bought up when they majorly clearanced it out. But once all my kids are school age I think the lessons being shorter will be nice.

[@amieecollins6267]

Thank you. I have 3 children in Kindergarten, I paid the money for the old one & extra boxes & it was to much for me I have to wait to get this new one to see the comparison so thank you for the opportunity to it before I purchased it.

[@FLMegan]

I bought the next 3 years of the old! I was already obsessed with what is was. We LOVED the amount and the box but it was level 2. We needed all of it. Every 30 minutes. Same obsession with their language art. I will buy the new 5th too when it comes time. We liked handwriting/typing/science but we have ventured on... Next year is all purchased. I will own every tgatb reader n special book they have thou lol. It's just a goldmine in the mass amounts of curriculums out there...Im headed to the Great homeschool curriculum so im sure ill learn more. Eekkk! It can be a obsession lol.

[@care4teaching]

Thank you for sharing! I’m using different curriculums for my kids maths but I’ve been curious about TGTB simple math. I’d love to see more flip throughs if you’re up for that!

[@williamsfamilymemories4276]

I used the old version in level K for my daughter and I had such a love hate relationship with it! I liked it’s approach to learning and my daughter enjoyed it, but i HATED all the stuff I had to use and the repetitive daily dose part! I’m looking forward to doing level 1 in the new version next school year

[@megananderson997]

Would love to see videos of the level 1-5! Thanks for doing the flip through. Love the changes!

[@audrageisler8430]

Thank you! I would love to see 1-5 as they come in. I’m especially interested in 2 and 5.

[@beckywilliams4773]

Wonderful thank you! Literally spoke to hubs last night about doing TGTB maths! Thanks lovey 😊❤️

[@kathleen7233]

Love you guys! The Good and the Beautiful looks really good. We have been doing teaching textbooks for my child that was struggling with just math curriculum in book form. She is loving it and doing so well now. I think I might check out Good and the Beautiful for my son though. It looks really good. Thank you!

[@cortneyokeefe8833]

We just went through their kindergarten math last year and my oldest liked it. ✨ Interested in the new one, though. There were a lot of manipulatives.

[@lovely4833]

I’m excited to see the upper levels too. We used the older level k this year and it was good but towards the end we were skipping some of the bonus activities. We did keep them for fun learning time so not a loss but no way could we finish all of them I think especially since my son loves to get the work done and play. We do have the levels 1 & 2 that we purchased on clearance but thinking we may switch anyway to the newer levels especially if they are simplified like the level k just released. Thanks for sharing.

[@KatandMouse]

We are using level one math now and it’s a nightmare. All the games, manipulatives, etc are so overwhelming for me as the teacher. I’m sooooo looking forward to the new math. Crossing my fingers that it’s better.

[@AmandaDeWald]

Love the new one! The old one was a lot! Thanks for sharing this was helpful. Would love to see other levels.

[@noelcarter2100]

My daughter is in kindergarten and I got her the Bju last year . But really considering getting the good and beautiful math 😊

[@gret1234]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much for this review and flip through! I was going through the assessment with my son today. Very curious of the other levels when they become available. Thanks again

[@pianogirl36]

I had the old kindergarten curriculum for my oldest, we made it less than halfway through and stopped. It was so overwhelming. We switched to maaterbooks and have been enjoying that through first grade.

[@judyhoffman1359]

This is very helpful! If this had been around 50 years ago, I would not have had the hard time I do now! Thanks

[@amandab.6815]

Did you put out your reviews for your 2020-2021 curriculum? Did I miss it?

[@brettelizabethspore]

Math is our nemesis. It will be interesting to see what the upper grades look like. Thanks for sharing this product.

[@Carazona]

Thank you so much, this was helpful! I purchased the old one when it went on clearance because of this new one coming out and it’s a little intense. Maybe next year my PreK daughter can use the new one!

[@pershae88]

Nice. I like this set. Much better for focusing and simplified.

[@katiecarroll4911]

This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@brectoa]

Yes! Love these videos! Thank you 😊

[@carolinarodriguez5752]

Yes!! Please review the other levels. We will be switching over from Masterbooks to TGTB and I'm scared!!.. haha...mainly because my kids are used to shorter lessons...

[@breanne2117]

So much better. I used the old math with my son for 2 years. We skipped the dailies most of the time because I just didn't have time for that with homeschooling 4 kids.

[@cherylk8781]

I would love to see any others that you purchase. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@familycarr398]

I love this type if video. Thanks!

[@melanievallely9539]

Both my girls do the old math (I went a bit crazy and purchased all possible levels for them when it was put on clearance 😂). My girls love the math, but I've definitely gotten tired of getting out all of the manipulatives. I'm kind of wishing I hadn't gone quite so overboard because I think the new math would keep everything we love about it, and change the tedious parts. Though, I could also just be jealous of the adorable, wooden manipulative boxes too 🤣

[@thehonestlife3618]

SOLD! Thank you for this!

[@NYMusic89563]

Yessss! Thank you for this video.

[@lynnefox6089]

Very interested to see the next levels!!

[@jennifercorbett4026]

Please do we plan on using mostly Charlotte Mason, but I think math is the one area I just don't quite get with CM.

[@maisieliberty1319]

great video, thank you for doing the flipthrough

[@samantha.phalanges]

If we had those cars in a manipulatives box I'd have to hide them! I honestly love the daily dose part of the old math but we often skip the bonus independent activities. By the end of the regular lesson he is *done.* I'm curious to see what the rest of the new math looks like, I kind of wish I had purchased all the old math when it was clearance because I still think I like it better.

[@ProgressOverPerfction]

We loved the former Level 2 until about mid-year. It was WAY to wordy for her with née, more complex concepts to grasp. The math box was easily organized in to a craft box from Walmart ($7), but the instruction became overwhelming and she shut down. I am so excited to try level K with our PreK child when it’s time.

[@GeographyNuts]

I think it is a good change, the last one was little more ambitious.

[@catworld8119]

think .... would be the word 😉

[@happykidzclubhouse]

My only complaint is I definitely wish they focused more on early Math before moving on so quickly. As in, I wish they focused more on knowing the numbers before moving on to addition, tally marks, time, money, etc. My oldest daughter did public school Kindergarten and they didn’t learn money or time until first grade. I feel like getting numbers and counting down pat is more important at the Kinder level. But TGTB does always seem to be a year advanced compared to other curriculums. Because of this specific issue, I still haven’t ordered and have gone back and forth because my up-and-coming Kindergartener doesn’t have much basic knowledge of numbers and I don’t want to be rushing her.

[@angela.braniff]

I’d maybe wait and just work on basics for the first half of the year, then you can start it once you feel your child has the basics and can move on at the pace this requires. And I totally agree that many of their offerings are either fast paced or a grade level ahead! I hope that won’t make parents worry unnecessarily if their kid isn’t getting it as fast! 😬

[@nicolemyers4584]

We love Math U See, even my child with a cognitive disability and math disability. We’ll stick with that. However, this looks like a great curriculum too. We did things a little more backwards from you, in that we adopted three kids with special needs and typical adoption needs first, then had three neurotypical bio kids. My oldest bio kid is going into pre-K. She won’t start true school work until next year, but it’s a new kind of planning. Thanks for the video.

[@mandyberry3330]

We got ours today and my little guy wanted to dive right in. Especially since it had cars in the box. 😂

[@desertrat5543]

Phewww, glad you shared this. I know this is the new standard in kindergarten, but it feels like a lot. This is why I’m happy to be homeschooling… I have a say. :)

[@BretMarie777]

I am so glad you said the first version was too much for your kids. I managed to get through 6 lessons and my child completely lost interest. Glad it wasn't just us! The new version looks so much better.

[@Athomeinthemountains]

I would love to see videos of all math levels once they are released!

[@JentasticVintage26]

Does this cover calendar time at all? Months of the year, days of the week, seasons, etc.,?

[@agathareimer2924]

That looks more like a first grader's math, in my opinion.

[@Themccormickfamily]

Unfortunately it’s not. My son went to public school in kindergarten and they did all that. It’s crazy what they have those babies do so young. He was breaking sentences down into nouns, verbs, and adjectives in kindergarten also.

[@shellsvillage]

Great video! Thank you

[@emilymarsh1333]

I can't wait for Level 1 to release!

Numicon is fabulous, maths for all levels

[@NYMusic89563]

What did you change to (after your child didn’t like it ?)

[@ceilidhmcphee8733]

Do you think the currency portion would be suitable for a different country where we don’t have nickels, dimes and pennys? Like we could use different cent value coins?

[@realityobserver7521]

Yes I definitely think you can just substitute the currency. Just have some on hand for visuals:)

[@fatemakw9990]

[@CEJones-fe2mo]

Does this teach common core math? Just wondering if my niece could use it to supplement public school.
