I want to thank you for the tip on this curriculum from your previous video. I purchased vol 2 as a supplement and it’s been a huge hit with my 5th grader. I was shocked she liked it so much. I did one lesson with her and she grabbed it from me and began to work through the lessons on her own. She is a good reader and the conversational style lessons worked so well for her. Simple and great so far 👍🏻. Thank you thank you 🙏🏼💗
I have dyscalculia and I graduated from high school in 1991. I have Volume I and I like it. Making progress it is great program for kids that struggle.
First year homeschooling my 8th grade son. Health and falling behind were a couple reasons I decided to keep him home. I realized he had gaps in math and we’ve spent the last few months finding out what they were. Trying to find a curriculum that will be a good fit for him is difficult. His brother, 7th grade, is working independently in Saxon Math. I quickly figured out Saxon and any curriculum that is very text heavy will be a hindrance for him. A friend mentioned this curriculum and I’m so thankful for her suggestion and for your video!! Despite the comic sans (I know my son will mock that! 😂), I think this book may be what he needs to get back up to speed and boost confidence.
@ That is great to hear that you’re still using this curriculum! Volume 1 should be arriving tomorrow, can’t wait to have it in my hands and start it with my son next week!
@@IntentionalHomeschoolingAlso, I subscribed. 😊 I’m also in Canada and am homeschooling kindergarten, grade 7 and 8. I will have to check out more of your videos for grade 1 and 9. It’s nice that you have some students that are ahead of where we’re at.
I've been using this with a 4th grader. I bought the first 4 volumes. We will use the second and possibly 3rd volume as a supplement next year to saxon math. It has helped improve basic skills tremendously.
I am an adult using the program. I have dyscalculia and graduated from high school in 1991. I had IEP in place and was receiving special education services. Until I graduated from high school. I am making slow progress. It is not the only thing that I am using. I added other things to supplement with. You are exactly right using it as supplement does help improve basic skills.
We have found that starting this system in middle school works well. I agree on the not sure how it would for younger kids, the books progress quickly and you would definitely be at a halt by book 3 with younger kids. Overall though, we have had success with these books and I really appreciate her teaching style.
I am using the program as an adult. But I have 11 year old niece and 7 year old. They are in public school. This is not consistent with what they are learning in school. It doesn’t cover all grade level skills. So I wouldn’t use it even as supplement.
Have you considered math-u-see? Its very similar but a slower progression but also easy to speed up and move on if they are ready. Could work well for your first grader. If your older kids reach a point where learn math fast is moving too fast at some point.
Thank you so much for sharing this flip through! I've been contemplating this program ever since you first shared about it. I was wondering specifically about if my two would feel "stuck" at a certain point. We've had that happen with Life of Fred- getting to a point where they're not ready to move on, but they've mastered the previous concepts, so what to do in the meantime?
You can still improve. I am using the program. I am an adult with dyscalculia. Just because you had trouble in school. Doesn’t mean you can’t improve now. Best $25 I spent.
I am seriously debating doing this with my daughter who hates math. We are struggling so hard through Saxon 8/7 and she's going into 9th grade. Is your 8th grader just doing 1 lesson/day?
Yes, just one lesson a day. And I've told her that if she is struggling with a lesson it can extend over multiple days if we need so she doesn't stress about it.
@@IntentionalHomeschooling I need to figure out how to be this relaxed. I was planning out Saxon and I was losing my mind a bit about how long it was going to take to get to 9th grade math equivalent. I'm not sure how Alberta is about homeschooling highschool but I'm trying to "match" Ontario curriculum and finding it so hard with a struggling student.
It doesn’t teach all of them. Only memorize the ones that are necessary. Tricks for the rest. I use this program for myself. I am an adult. I realized I didn’t know all my times tables. It bothered me so I used free online drills. Few cheap workbooks. Within 3 weeks I had them memorized. If your son would find memorizing them all boring. You can just use the method in the book. Nothing wrong with letting him use multiplication chart either. I do really like the program and it definitely has improved. My math skills.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been so curious about using this for some of my children. I’ll definitely look into it more.

My son has responded so well to Learn Math Fast. He just finished Algebra 1 and will be using their High School Geometry next year.
Which volume is Algebra 1 in?
I watched your review too, it was so helpful! Thank you!! My daughter has ADHD and Autism. You put me over the top and I ordered volume 1.
I think it is Volume 5.

Hate to say it but, you get used to the Comic Sans after awhile. 🤣 We're still going strong with this and are just about to start book four!

Do you still do a morning basket time with your kiddos now that they are older? Would love to see a video of that if you do.

Hi,before the volume one has more free worksheets like supplemental but now with the new updated website ins't there free but to purchase I think🤔
The person using this program is myself. I have dyscalculia. I use other things for extra practice.
Mastery seems like the norm to me although government schools failed me big time with math.
Nice review.

@@angelaschaefer5883 Oh that is so encouraging!! I believe I have that as well. Thank you for the encouragement.

How do you think it works for leaning multiplication? My son is struggling with tgtb math for multiplication

All your cons are the reason why I did not like it either
