2nd Grade Math Curriculum Comparison | Second Grade Math With Confidence Vs. Math U See Beta

Hey Mama! Great video. We actually use… BOTH! I love the mastery of Math u see. I love hitting all grade topics in Math with Confidence. ❤

Great video! Starting MUS alpha for 1st grade in september

I can’t remember making a binder for math u see but we use the binder often with MWC!!!

Currently switched from MWC to MUS just because of the teacher intense nature of MWC. I really enjoyed it and so did my son so I do miss aspects of the games & “fun” but I just didn’t feel I had a ton of time to get through the lessons with 2 kids with MWC I like that they can be more independent in MUS.

We sort of combine the two since we use Math u see as our main course and then we add Math Facts that stick which includes the games from Math with Confidence.

This couldn’t have come at a better time! I’ve been trying to decide between MUS and MWC for my 8 year old son. We just bought level 3 and plan to do the Math Facts that Stick series before we start. I also want to do MUS since MWC isn’t fully released and I want something he can move on to when he has finished the whole series. We have done TGTB from the start and I realize that it hasn’t been a good fit and he is still struggling with a lot of simple math concepts. I suspect he may have a touch of dyslexia or dyscalculia. I never thought to use both curricula! Thank you so much for this video!

Would you say that one of these curriculums is more advanced than the other? Just curious, thanks! We have completed MWC Level K and currently in MWC Level 1. It’s a good and fun fit for our family ❤

This is sort of off-topic, but your flip-through of MUS made me think. We normally use Saxon math for grades 4-8. It’s pretty solid for us, but I’m considering using MUS for my next year’s 8th grader. I think the main benefit would be sticking with a new topic for at least a week instead of Saxon’s constant variety; I think he would benefit from the extra time spent on one concept. I believe you’ve had experience with both; how do you think the two curricula compare? It would be pre-algebra. Or have you done a video covering this?

I have used Math-U-See for multiplication for my older kiddos and am doing MWC with my youngest. I am curious: do you do both with the same child? If so, how?

My youngest is 7 lessons into Gamma and she is struggling with the monotony of MUS. All of my other kids have done fine with MUS, but she is my busy body, active, just wired differently…what level would you suggest looking into for Math with Confidence?

So with MUS do you just do a lesson introducing the topic one day and the rest of it is just practicing with the worksheets?

For math you see, would you suggest starting at alpha for grade 1 or start at primer ?

How do you schedule in two math curriculums without facing a mutiny from the child?

Are you using only one or both?
