Kindergarten Math | Abeka vs. The Good and The Beautiful | Comparison & Flip Through Lesson Overview

Published 2022-03-15
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 K-5 and TGTB's Simply Good and Beautiful Math Level K. I'll point out similarities and differences, price comparison, what a lesson from each curriculum looks likes, a flip-through, as well as an overall review between the two math programs.

    You are killing it with these comparison videos!!! I love it!! I was recently looking into Abeka k5 math for my middle daughter. I really love Abeka for the younger years. 😍
  • Thank you for this! Have been looking everywhere for an in-depth comparison🙂
  • @BandanaBookmom
    This video is exactly what I was looking for! Love the idea of combining these two programs together. Thanks!
  • @JS-ec6bk
    Thank you for this video! So helpful!
  • @juliak5843
    Your videos are SO helpful, I love Abeka (grew up learning from them) but also TGTB for my children. Seeing these comparisons for various subjects is fantastic. Thank you!
  • @SevenInAll
    What a great comparison! I think many, many families end up using multiple math curriculums, one more for teaching, and another more for practice, and I think that's a really helpful approach for many kids.
  • @sarapayne9445
    I bought the Abeka lesson plans k5 and the readers second hand. I did a happy dance because I bought it for a half the price brand new but I also got several things with it. Thank you for videos. I’m easing into homeschool with my son he’s 3 turning 4. We started in August I wasn’t expecting him to learn so quickly. I stumbled upon your k5 reading video and I am hooked! Thank you for your channel.♥️♥️♥️

    I started my kindergartener with Abeka K5 workbook without teacher guide or lesson plans. I was afraid I was missing something so I opted to get TGTB k. We have continued with both and it is working very well. The grade 3 simply good and beautiful math lessons were too long for us without enough practice and teacher intensive. We switched to Abeka math 3 workbook and answer book and it as been working great even without the lesson plans.
  • Also, you may want to mention, TGATB is a free download PDF now. I just printed it out with supplies I already had and just bought the box of manipulatives for $20. My daughter is only K4 this year but this was on her academic level so we are doing K5 for math and TGATB ended up being basically free. Since I wasn't sure how our days were going to go, I was happy to find TGATB. I put everything in sheet protectors so we can use dry erase and keep the book intact just in case we need to re do a lesson or for my 2 year old when she gets older.
  • @SummerMeyers
    Someone literally just asked about this this morning! I'm going to share your video.
  • Great comparison! I purchased TGTB math 1 and 2 for my older two kids next year. My girl in kinder this year loved it and I think my upcoming 2nd grade son will really like it. But I already am planning on adding some supplements because I think they may need more practice problems.
  • @3charmzmakeup
    It's a WIN that neither use Common Core! A few parents and I shared that many kids don't know how to tell time, cursive writing, count back change, address and envelope to mail, and etc unless they use their phones for help! 2008 was the year the school system decided to push kids school start dates later then they were suppose to start to "help kids sturggling" HUGE MISTAKE on them and to add this HORRIBLE Common Core to make it worse! I graduated with. GPA 4.0 and got a scholarship to UC Davis for their Vet program and this move by the school system is completely WRONG! The Gov. pushed this to keep the kids uneducated and to rely on the Internet for answers instead of what God gave them...their brains! I'm thankful for such programs like these that teach as close as the way I was taught in school.....basic life skills! Thank you sharing both programs.
  • @MW11-3
    Another great comparison video!! I have Abeka k5 math already purchased for next year but I was contemplating getting TGATB. You know, FOMO and all that 😂 But after this video, I think I’ll stick with just Abeka. Thanks!!
  • @donnabolt5847
    Oh thank you! I have a daughter going in prek and my son is in K right now and want to switch from horizons. Was thinking TGATB but not sure they have enough practice My daughter is doing 4th grade math TGATB. this is first math she doesn't cry HOWEVER not enough practice so by time she gets to assessment she has forgotten a lot... :( Looking forward to your comparison with abeka for other grades to see if that might help her not forget. What do you think?
  • @XochitlPuga
    Thank you for this! I am currently thinking of what to do for next year. My son thrived on Abeka 2nd grade curriculum but that’s with having the videos. I’m afraid if I switch to TGTB I won’t know what to do for 3rd grade without a video guide or if it will be enough for him. The lessons seem super short?
