Created by a longtime teacher, Math-U-See is a hands-on, student-paced, mastery-based approach that focuses on developing a true understanding of mathematical concepts transferrable to real-world application. You’ll follow a 4-step approach to introduce, review, practice and master concepts. Since math is learned sequentially—independent of age or grade—the program teaches skills that build on previous principles as your child progresses. The multisensory “Build it – Write it – Say it” method of instruction lets children explore each new concept and helps you assess their understanding before continuing. Simple manipulatives help students visualize what they’re learning. The program is:

• Concept-driven: Children gain thorough understanding by learning how to solve math problems, why they’re solved in the prescribed manner, and when to apply the concept.
• Mastery-based: You’ll know when they’ve mastered a concept when they teach it back to you, indicating readiness to learn the next skill.
• Skills-based, multisensory approach: Math-U-See addresses the different ways we process information. As your children incorporate all senses in meaningful ways that aid retention, they’ll build essential cumulative skills.
