Now we're sharing it with your kids. This planner was created for real students who are learning in all kinds of ways. Life gets busy fast when you’re doing school a little differently, and we noticed something was missing: a place for students to keep it all together. So we made one. As parents (and former teachers), we know that not every student follows the same path. Some are in traditional classrooms, some learn at home or through co-ops, and many juggle a mix of schooling styles along with extracurriculars, volunteering, part-time jobs, and community involvement.

Math-U-See (Grades 1 through 12 + AIM Program for upgrading Basic Facts) The Math-U-See program is a unique program that uses manipulatives to teach kids visually. This program is based on the Mortensen method, which uses coloured blocks in a way that even kindergarten kids will easily understand multiplication and algebra! The program is not divided into “grade levels” but rather by skill/subject, so it’s worth exploring their website for information on which book to start with. Topics range from basic facts through Pre-Calculus and students can build upon scaffolded skills through High School. The main curriculum ranges from Kindergarten through 12th grade, and they also provide a second curriculum, the AIM Program (Accelerated Individual Mastery), which targets older students who have not mastered basic math facts. All lessons are explained to the parent (or child) via video (DVD or online), and kids can easily use their own set of blocks to solve equations. The manipulative blocks that accompany this program are fantastic, and worth the investment. We recommend that you check local Homeschool sales sites and social media for second-hand sets of blocks to keep costs down. Math-U-See seems to have a high success rate with children who like to use manipulatives, and for those struggling with concepts that they’ve somehow missed. This program is also ideal for children who benefit from simplicity (minimal text or math problems per page), as it provides ample white space and is not visually over-crowded or overstimulating. It’s a good idea to watch a few demonstration videos on their website (or on YouTube) to fully understand how this program works. For a more comprehensive review, click here .
