I am a homeschooling mom with an elementary education degree. I've used Saxon but don't like the boring worksheet and countless drills. My son always saved math for last because he did not like the chore it was to complete the boring gray and black pages. Plus, 100 problems a page? It was a bit much and after a certain point becomes busy work. I use a combination of Math U See and Horizons for a complete math curriculum. Horizons offers the comprehensive learning I like along with colorful pages to captivate my children, K and grade 3, but Math U See teaches the children more about the processes and why. Plus, I like how Horizons is more advanced than other math curriculums. I have my children do 2 pages in Math U See and one page in Horizons every day.

I like this book for its colorful pictures and fun activities. I use this book along with the liberty math as a reinforcer and a break from formality.

I really love Horizons Math. I have used it for my son for grades 3-4 also. It is very thorough and complete and is colorful and engaging. It does move at a quick pace, and students work on a variety of concepts on one worksheet, so it may not be for everyone. But, for us, it has been wonderful!

My daughter is very bright and was quickly bored with this curriculum's repetitiveness. Lesson after lesson of "Write the number before" exhausted her. We ended up crossing off a third of the problems in an effort to keep the knowledge current in her learning but not so boring that she refused to do it.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this math workbook. The pages are bright and colourful. The spiral approach is gentle and gives me comfort to know he is not forgetting something that was taught earlier. I love that it teaches the days of the week, months of the year and how to read a calendar. The repetition on how to print the numbers is really great and the lessons are not too long so that he looses interest. You really don't need the teacher's manual for this level although I do have it. Since I am from Canada the only thing I would change is the American coins to Canadian. That really is no big deal at all. I just pull out our pennies and dimes and go from there.

This math curriculum is great. My daughter loves math and easily grasps the new concepts. I really like how they show many different methods/applications for things like counting, adding, etc. We will stick with Horizons!

This is far better than A Beka's math, in both appearance and style. More organized, and the 'multi-tasking' mentioned in a previous review is purposeful - it's only there bringing elements together that will be used altogether at a later point. I am in my second year of using Horizons in my 8yr old autistic son's home program. Though we are in different circumstances, I don't find it 'advanced' in the least. I think it has a great pace,and thoroughly lays down fundamentals before progressing - ie, subtraction has yet to be introduced, in the effort for the child to master addition first. We are in book two of the kindergarten set, and I just love it. I would recommend this to absolutely anyone, and you should also know that if you are a naturally "teachy" kind of person, you don't really need the teacher's guide at all.

My son and I have enjoyed using this math curriculum very much. It is so colorful and great. Teachers manual lays out everything for you and makes it easy for first time home schoolers! I would recommend this to anyone!
