I am middle aged adult. Who has dyscalculia. Even though I graduated from high school in 1991. I still lurk on curriculum reviews for math. This one won’t work for me. But my granddaughter is 3 years old. In few years this is something. I would purchase for her. The conceptual understanding and great number sense. Sounds fantastic thank you for sharing the review.
Thanks so much for this, Erin! It is lovely to see the joy you have in teaching your child and experiencing his “aha” moments with him. This definitely encourages me to keep pushing through even on hard days, and to stay the course with Rightstart. I just love how this curriculum showcases the beauty of math (and that’s coming from a Language/History nerd). Now I’ll wait (mostly patiently) until you post a review for Level F next year! If I understand correctly, that’s the level where students begin to do more independent work, which will be wonderful since my younger two kiddos will need me more by that point. 😅
I always love watching these reviews!! My oldest just finished Level E this year and we loved it too!! All the lessons you mentioned we loved as well!! The geography one was SO cool!! And the mobius strip lesson blew MY mind!! 😂 And my kids always love all the drawing lessons, but the Olympic rings were especially cool!! My son also got obsessed with prime numbers after Level E!! 😂 Anyway, I love getting to share in my passion for RightStart Math!! It really is such a cool program!! Thanks for sharing your experience!! 😍
We are doing Level F next year and I’m so excited!! I feel like each level gets better and better!! Have you decided if you’ll continue on with Levels G and H?
Would you recommend moving into the upper elementary levels from another curriculum? Or would it be too difficult for them if they didn’t start out with RS from the beginning? I have a 4th and 6th grader I’m considering moving over to RS.
@@stefanietaylor4989 lots of people start RS in upper elementary grades! Some will drop back a few levels and go through them quickly to make sure their child learns the strategies RS teaches, others start at whichever level is recommended after their child takes the placement test.
Do you generally do a lesson a day and a game? We have 18 lessons left in d, I feel like she is missing a little bit of something but not sure. I was considering math with confident for 4 th grade. She will be in fourth this year and is 9. We have only used right start from the beginning. The lessons seem to take so long. She didn’t seem interested in the games the last half of the year so they have tapered off. I feel like she needs more practice problems than RS gives them( the games are the practice). I am just a little concerned she is not getting enough of what is needed. Idk. Any tips?
Since you're close to the end I'd say do the reviews/assessments and see how that goes - if she sails through them then she's doing fine with what you're doing. If she doesn't do well then maybe she's missing something. The lessons are long and I've been guilty of skipping warm ups and/or games to shorten the lesson too! Some ideas: don't worry about a lesson a day and just work for 30ish minutes, stop, and pick up wherever the next day; play the games you skipped in D over the summer as practice, or do some supplemental practice before moving to E (we used Multiplication Facts that Stick last summer between D and E).
@@joycehampton4656 I let me kids pick - sometimes they want to do multiple assessment "lessons" per day and sometimes they just want to do one day at a time.

That’s what I’ve heard and I’m hoping so because I’ll have 3 in RightStart this year 🤪😂

It’s such a great level! Are you guys moving on to Level F as well?

@@MrsPerdueArt as of right now I’m planning on it!

Can you give a list of which items from the math set that you used in this level?
I don't have a list of that, sorry!

How fast should she be able to do the final assessment in level d, I think it is 6 pages .? Thanks again
