Math With Confidence 3rd Grade Flip Through & What's Different

I was also concerned about it not being rigorous enough. I then realized that my son loves math, loves the games, and I love teaching it. Setting a solid foundation is so important, but Kate Snow understands that can be done without giving a ton of worksheet problems or rushing through concepts. Thanks for the flip through!

Switching to MWC 1st Grade more than halfway through the school year was the best homeschool decision I've made. It was hard not to just finish out the other curriculum! But I'm so glad we just went for it. It's changed math completely for us. We cant wait to start 2nd grade in a few months!

Our MWC Third Grade is arriving tomorrow and I can't wait to flip through it. This was a great flip through. Thank you for linking manipulative options!

I wish they'd had better samples of this! I think my son could EASILY get through Book A right now. Changing out our old curriculum more than halfway through the year with 2nd grade for him was a great decision. And it's going well! This was very helpful, thank you!

I’m about to start using K and 2nd but this has been really helpful as I’m starting MWC for the first time. I really appreciate your idea of copying the game instructions to use in future. I ended up making a photocopy of each and putting in a binder in sleeve protectors. Now I’m going to go back and add the instructions. Thank you!!

I've really enjoyed your videos...found you as I was navigating Brave Writer's Dart. I'm realizing that we're really using similar curriculum for your 3rd graders.(Ambleside, Math with Confidence and Dart with Brave writer.) It's been a great year so far. Lol. lots of sorting through things and praying for the right decisions. As well as searching for things that are flexible for a variety of ages. And easy on me as I teach all the kids.

My son is starting MWC 3 as well! I was lucky to buy it for the 40% off when she released it last month. I looked at her 2nd grade last year and ended up with going with a different math program for my son. It worked out ok and he learned just fine but he hated it. We are just getting started with our year but he is super excited with for his new math!! My only concern was I read that it was suppose to be a “middle of the road” program & I hope he is challenged enough. He is really good at math.

I know for the other levels they have the games you can print out separately directly from their website. Not the directions but that way you don’t have to tear them out of the book. I haven’t checked to see if they have the third grade games in the website yet though.

Do you mind showing how to finger knitting with 1 finger but show how to make a second row?

Just a tip... for our 2nd grade teacher's book I had it cut and spiral bound into 2 books at Staples to make it easier.

We have used masterbooks, christian light, a few lessons from the good and the beautiful, and my son still struggles and hates math. I have resigned myself to the fact that he just isnt going to love it and that's fine. We just started our year reviewing addition facts with addition facts that stick and my kids are having fun with math (yay!). Ok all that to say im considering, with the fun they are having, switching to math with confidence. What would you say is the difference you see between masterbooks and mwc? From a usability, practice, approach, child engagement, length of lessons and opinion, perspective how would you compare the 2, similarities, differences? Id love watching a video of your thoughts on this. Thanks so much.

My son just finished level 2 of TGATB. We are switching to Math with Confidence this year. He is very good at math, and understands all the concepts from level 2 well, but does not have the mental math abilities that MWC teaches (like he is not able to easily add 83 + 58 mentally). When i read what your child should know before starting level 3, that skill is on there. That is the only skill that he does not have. Is there enough review of that at the beginning of level 3 to teach him? Or do you think it would be best to start at level 2? Thank you!

I've read a couple comments about how the paper in the student workbooks for Grade 3 is thinner than the K-2nd workbooks. Have you had any problems with erasing answers, tearing, or picture bleedthrough from the flipside? Or is the lighter weight workbook paper not significantly noticeable?

I love MWC. My son is a free thinker though. He solves everything the way he wants even after I show him Kate's way. His dad's side of the family are all gifted learners. It's thrown my classic style way off.He is about 6 months ahead of this course and I hate holding him back. What curriculum do you use for your older child? I purchased Apologia 4 and I am not super impressed with the explanations.

I noticed it has books listed. Would you order those all in advance to have them for the year? We get our books from the library so I’d have to request them weeks in advance.

Are you still using Math With Confidence? Currently using MWC K and it’s been a great program I am just feeling overwhelmed by the prep work and planning. Is there a way to make it more doable? I am a busy mom of five soon six kids and I am needing something a little easier for the teacher. Was considering possibly trying Apologia Math. Know anything about that one?

Would this be a good curriculum for a child with a learning disability who is several grades behind in math
