How do you feel about math? Or better yet, how does your first grader feel about math? While math may not be my favorite subject to work on, at least it’s been fun. I thank RightStart Math for making a subject like math fun. It definitely makes it more interesting and helps your kids to learn it more quickly.

What makes RightStart Math special?
My favorite and I’m going to guess my kids’ favorite thing about RightStart Math would be that they are making math fun! The lessons book includes everything you need for fun, learning with your kids, including what worksheet to out of the workbook, when to use the Yellow is the sun disc, when to play (which) game.
If you remember I shared all that you get in the RS2 Math Set that we got with our curriculum choices? it included everything we need to learn, and to learn hands-on. To have fun with games in each lesson.
The 2nd Edition Level B math is about continuing to build a strong foundation with number sense. If you haven’t used their program for math in the past, you can start it at any time, this is our first year using it, and my oldest is using Level D this year (review coming at a later date).
