    Has anyone used Math It?  If so, what age/grade?  Did you use as a supplement or as entire program?  What was your experience?  

     

    Thanks,

    I think it is a wonderful little kit and wish I still had it. The instructor’s voice was rather annoying, but maybe it’s updated. For a little one (up to 3rd grade), just add some instruction in time, money, and measuring through your every day sort of things. Then a number line and pad of paper where you write 5-10 problems daily and that’s all it really takes. Oh, and ask a word problem daily and get the child to prove it on paper. I made myself a checklist of these things. BUT that was before I was a mom of many littles and it was easier to focus on just one or two children. I think this is best, but I totally understand needing something ready made.

    Blessings,

    I agree with Cindy – I wish I still had it.  I had the regular one and used it from probably 2-5th depending on the child.  I used it as a supplement.

    I have one in great condition that I would like to sell for $20 ppd.  The books and the Addit game have been covered with contact paper for protection. It has 2 books, a cassette tape, all the parts for the 3 games and a case.  If anyone is interested you can pm me.

    CindyS & Pollysoup, Thanks for the tips.  This was exactly what I’m looking for. 

     

    Rene, Thanks for the offer, but I already own it.  Hopefully, someone else will be able to use it.  Do you have any feedback as to whether or not you liked it or how you used it?

     

    Blessings,

    Melissa

    We have used it for years. I always have the elementary kids do a Math-U-See lesson and then a separate math facts drill time, and we use Math-It sometimes for their drill time. It teaches some neat little tricks and they race themselves so there is no sibling competition, which is a good thing. It is a very organized way to approach learning the basic facts and has been helpful to my kids who don’t naturally organize information on their own. We like it a lot. I often change up what they are doing for drill every term and give some time off of drill from time to time as well if they are making progress and would benefit from a break. Anyway — the kids like it b/c of the game format. I like it b/c they learn in a painless (not effortless) way. win/win 🙂
