    If so, what did you think of it? I thought I had everything all figured out but keep changing my mind. It looks good and is VERY reasonable. Just wondering if I could get some input. I'm going to see about getting their sample pages so that will help too. Thanks.

    I've liked it at as a supplement to my son's Teaching Textbooks. My son had trouble memorizing his multiplication facts (beyond the simple ones). I really liked it.

    I did not use ALL the pages, but used enough of it.

    I'm imagining with all the stuff I skipped, that each level would be good as a stand alone.

    HTH. :)

    We tried it, but we didn't really like it. If I remember why correctly, it was a bit confusing in the way it the way it taught some things. Not the way I was taught at all, and it was not easy to understand/remember how from day-to-day for us.
    Not to say it wouldn't be a perfect for you, just our experience with it.

    I've used it and I think it's comparable to my beloved Singapore not just in effectiveness but in how it teaches math. A HUGE advantage to it is Maria Miller, the author. She answers emails if you have any questions or issues and has a blog with lots of math related stuff.

    I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use it.
