Homeschool Math Curriculum Review | Simply Good and Beautiful Math 3 |How We Do a Lesson

"The Hardest Math in Life is Counting our Blessings" -- thank you so much for being here, friends! ❤

My eldest is also 3rd grade, and I was considering switching him to Saxon next year. I showed him some samples of the work he'd be doing, and he was like, nope! Lol, plus he is really looking forward to the videos coming for level 4. The fact that we can download and print all of the math and LA for our family for free is such a blessing, and it makes me want to continue to support this company. Great review, Gina!❤

I have one boy who just finished level 3, and another who just went from 2 into 3, and I definitely felt the jump too!! We do the review sections of the math before as well, they do that while I work with their younger sisters. When he started level 3 I really felt the jump but the cool thing is that my son didn’t notice it! And normally he would be the one to notice it and complain about length, but while he may have felt it it he never said anything, so while there’s a jump it’s definitely an adjustment but it’s doable. I have all my older 3 kids in simply math, and my youngest will be doing level k next school year. We are loving it too! My oldest told our facilitator that we did a math that was too much, a math that was too little but the simply math is just right (lol no joke, his words exactly 😂). We’re in Canada too!!! We do the money and gallons and farenheit because I find where we are in Canada we use farenheit for our stoves, Celsius for temperature, cups for baking, gallons for milk, kilometres for measuring large things, etc we use a mishmash of them so I thought it would be good for them to be familiar with both but I’m super glad they do include both. We changed out the money from the level 2 and 1 boxes with Canadian play money so we use the physical play money to help with the money parts. Because I have kids doing levels 1, 2 and 3, the boxes are right there so I can just grab them even though there’s no money in the level 3 box. My oldest is starting level 4 tomorrow when we’re back to school after our spring break, and he and I are excited for the videos too lol!!!

LOVE this video. I really like that you got your son to give his honest opinion on the curriculum too. Also I like learning the differences between what Canada vs the USA is like, like where you explain why you don't do the currency portion bc in Canada the currency is different. I am in the USA and I just like hearing about those differences.

This was an amazing review, super helpful and interesting!

I didn’t buy Supplements for level 2 but I had to for level 3 due to issues with multiplication!!! We only play the games if they are fun or if they’re is a issue with the lessons!!! We only do metric so we missed the imperial measurements!!! We loved the cut outs!!! I didn’t think there was enough video lessons and we don’t have 1c and 2 c coins so I explained to my kids that they were in Singapore and do it as a Singapore dollar!! My twin son used the Singapore edition of Singapore math and it’s all metric!!! We use our own notebooks and I’m glad we do as my kids don’t have issues with space when doing math!!! My kids didn’t want me to print the pdf for them!!! We don’t go thru all the steps unless we need to!!!

What a great review on a beautiful Math 3. I really enjoyed it Gina ❤ Thank you!

We are using the level 3 as well and they love it!

very enjoyable review - thanks!

Math is my daughter’s weakest subject and we started Learn Math Fast in January. We started from scratch and almost done with the first book. I have Humble Math workbooks for reminders ( clocks, money, fractions, and measurements). I noticed that my daughter isn’t behind when it comes to public school standards. I think if you just find a program that fits that you should stick to it. They will never know everything and apparently homeschool math is more advanced than public school. 😊

I maybe missed it but where did you get that cool multiplication workbook with sliders? Thanks!

Thanks for a great review! I wish they started the video lessons at level 3 as the multiplication would flow easier! Do you feel there is enough multiplication practice in level 3 for someone starting the course without doing level 2?

I love playing games with my oldest, who can read and understand instructions all by himself, and he also has the emotional capacity to lose sometimes. The rest of these kids, though. Nope. No games! 😂 That said, the “games” with level 1 have been fine. My kid actually thinks they’re games rather than the disguised practice they really are and they are super uncomplicated.

I hate games too lol and I skip some of that hoopla too but occasionally I do it depends if we have time in that day

Your son look so much like his father.thanks for the video

We used level 3 for my oldest this year, and it's so funny to me: she doesn't like all the pictures and special activities! 😂 I never would have guessed, but she is not impressed. Ha!

Let’s c how Val does next year!! She hates counting money 💰 😂😂😂

I hated math 😂 I don’t blame her 😂😂

😅😂😂😂😂GAMES 😂😂😂😂
