Want a calm, simple way to organize math in your homeschool? Learning how to create homeschool routine that actually sticks makes math less stressful for both you and your child. Math U See is a mastery, multi sensory program that fits nicely into predictable daily and weekly rhythms. Below I share what the program includes, its strengths and weaknesses, and a sample routine you can use right away. Watch youtube here.
What Math U See is and how it teaches
Math U See focuses on mastering one core skill per level instead of following strict grade labels. Each level concentrates on a single topic like single digit addition, multi digit subtraction, multiplication, division, or fractions. Lessons include short video instruction, hands on blocks, and a sequence of practice pages plus systematic reviews so the skill sticks.
What you get when you order
- Teacher instruction manual with lesson guides
- Student workbook with practice (A, B, C) and review (D, E, F) pages for each lesson
- Test and activity book (included in the full bundle)
- Video lessons available on DVD or through a digital toolbox
- Manipulative block set for units, tens, hundreds and more
Key strengths
- Mastery approach: Focuses on one skill until the child truly understands it, reducing gaps later on.
- Multi sensory learning: Videos, manipulatives, and written practice reach visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners.
- Short video lessons: The instructor explains concepts simply, which takes pressure off the parent as teacher.
- Reusable kit: Buy the full kit once and then only need a workbook for each subsequent child at that level.
Limitations to consider
- Initial cost: The full first purchase can be around three hundred dollars with shipping. It becomes more economical if used with multiple children.
- Extra materials you might not use: Tests and DVDs come bundled and cannot be opted out, which may feel like clutter for some families.
- Mastery pace: Some children love moving quickly and may find repeated drills slow, though you can progress faster if they demonstrate mastery.
Quick tips for smooth implementation
- Keep the manipulative kit accessible so quick practice is easy on busy days.
- Use the video lessons when you have multiple little ones; they free up your time and deliver clear instruction.
- Reuse materials across siblings to spread the initial cost over several children.
- Build math into your daily routine by scheduling the short lesson at the same time each school day for consistency.
Math U See is a strong option if you value mastery, multisensory learning, and a predictable routine. Knowing how to create homeschool routine that balances instruction, practice, and review will make math a confident subject in your home.
