I went against the recommended selection for Heart of Dakota for first grade math. First grade is the foundation year, and I was having trouble getting Megan to understand how to take all the games and activities we were doing and transfer them to paper learning. I decided Megan needed an incremental system where what she is learning in steps with lots of review. I chose Christian Light Education's light unit math.
It's so awesome for my daughter. She is so proud of herself. There's an awesome teacher's guide that helps me teach. Every lesson is reinforced in several ways. Megan is picking it up quickly compared to last year.
I don't mind adding in extra activities. I have Megan doing math games from Easy Peasy homeschool. The videos alone have helped her learn to count to 100, reinforced the days of the week and the months of the year, and is teaching her skip-counting with ease.
I love it when I find something that works! It just thrills my heart to see my children learning, and being excited about their lessons!
