Off to an excellent start in math!

We chose Right Start Math, Level B for our 1st grade math curriculum. It was first recommended to me when we were considering a Montessori approach to early elementary learning. Our oldest son, "Turtle's" personality fit with Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education and we found that Right Start was recommended on the Simply Charlotte Mason website.

Both of my children love Right Start Math even though they have different learning styles-- the oldest is very hands on while the younger is more traditional.

Right now we are playing a game similar to Go Fish. The math curriculum came with a set of plain number cards for games. Each player starts with five cards and lays down pairs of cards that equal 10 (or higher numbers when they get more advanced). It is fun and great challenge!
