2nd Grade Math | Abeka vs. The Good and The Beautiful | Comparison & Flip Through Lesson Overview

Published 2022-04-08
Are you interested in either Abeka or The Good and The Beautiful math but just not sure which one is for you? Today I'm showing an in-depth comparison between Abeka's Number Skills Arithmetic for 2nd grade and TGTB's Simply Good and Beautiful Math Level 2. I've used the Good and the Beautiful level 2 (the old version) along with Abeka 2nd grade math with my oldest 2 years ago, but when I compared Abeka to the Simply Good and Beautiful level 2, I was quite surprised!

I'll point out similarities and differences, what a lesson from each curriculum looks likes, a flip-through, as well as an overall review between the two math programs.

    Great video as always Lauren! Always love watching your videos ❤️
  • Thanks for posting this! My daughter has been doing Abeka and it's going great, but I just bought The Good and the Beautiful Math as well. I'm looking forward to using both in a way that works for us!
  • @rsmith4484
    Thank you for doing this review. I appreciate it, we currently do MB and my youngest doesn’t vibe with it, so I was hoping TGTB would be more interesting for him! This was great to get to see some options and comparisons.
  • @annaulmer8306
    I’m rewatching this. 😬 My daughter LOVED math with the older version of TGTB math. We went to Abeka, and most of the time she doesn’t want to do any math. At all. She can do it, but she doesn’t like it for some reason. So maybe we will revisit TGTB for the rest of the year.
  • From a mom who did K-3 in Abeka recently with our youngest kids, as well as some middle and highschool grades years ago with our older kids, I can tell you the workbook is only a part of what kids learn. There is so so much more our kids learned by us having the teachers guide. Another thing we loved about Abeka was the option to do video lessons, we have done Abeka with and without the video lessons but the workbooks are only a part of the program, the teachers guide gives a lot more instructions that you wont find in just the student workbooks.

    Abeka Arithmetic 3 was great 😊!!! Get it!!! This was a great review. From my experience with both of these curriculum you nailed this review. 😍
  • @Kit_Kat89
    I always tell everyone that the updates TGTB have been doing are game changer. We were not a fan of any of their things until the updates started. We will be starting Math 2 in 2 weeks 😁. So excited!

    Great review. With my oldest girl (11) we did CLE Math through midyear grade 4. It was a rigorous curriculum, but I found that my daughter would go through it not understanding what she was doing. So she went through the motions, but didn't retain a lot of the math. She just wasn't mentally ready for it I guess. We tried TGTB Math 5 with her this year for the first several months however, she just couldn't get the grasp of the way they presented their material via video/workbook. We switched her to Teaching Textbooks and 💡 everything started clicking. My son is finishing up TGTB level 1 this year and he loves it. We will be sticking with it for him. We also use TGTB Language Arts for both kids and we love that! I'm at a point in my life where I don't care about a rigorous curriculum, I don't want to be a drill sergeant parent (that's what it felt like when we used CLE). As long as our children are learning according to our standards I'm happy. Tfs have a blessed weekend 🌷
