This level includes a student book and the parent/teacher book. David Quine, author of Making Math Meaningful, says:"The math instruction of children should proceed on two lines. The young child should begin to learn the basic facts and to understand math concepts, and his understanding should be well in advance of his skill to compute. The scale should be tipped in favor of a concrete understanding of math concepts so that he can think mathematically." In this series your children will: learn to reason learn the math facts learn to solve word problems really understand math ideas finally have fun doing math Making Math Meaningful is perfect for all learning styles. There are activities using manipulatives for kinesthetic learners, activities using natural conversations for auditory learners, and activities using pictures for visual learners. The lesson plans are clear and easy to use. The student book is a workbook. The pages are not reproducible. Level 2 covers addition and subtraction, place value, addition and subtraction of real objects, addition and subtraction of symbols, part whole, and multiplication and division.

So far so good. I like that it emphasizes word problems. My daughter really enjoys doing her math, that is what she asks for when we first start school in the morning.

This is a wonderful series. I have a distractible little boy who wanted nothing to do with math, until now. This program captured his interest through using different objects that we have in the home, along with games in some lessons to help him learn. If he doesn't understand a concept, we look at presenting it differently with the various ways offered in the teacher book. He is now blossoming in math, and in his math related confidence.

I like the approach of the book. It really emphasizes understanding. Also I chose it because of its emphasis on story problems.

My son just completed his 3rd year with MMM and scored well above the national averages in both public and private schools on the SAT. I had some reservations about the seemingly slow pace, but they were apparently unfounded. We're very proud and highly recommend the series which we will start this year with our daughter.

My daughter and I love the way this book teaches math. I considered switching my son from Saxon to MMM because its teaching style is unique and makes math SO easy to understand. If your child learns best with gradual, logical steps, this might be just the thing! The most challenging thing about this book is the page numbering system!! It's enough to give a busy mom a headache.
