As a homeschooling mom, I love this book! It is full of fun, colorful lessons that are simple and easy to teach. Each lesson is very short and not overwhelming with a lot of repetition like other curriculums. I have tried several other curriculums and I think ABeka is the best in price, content, quality and design. What I love most about this book is that it does not require a teacher's edition to teach the material because all of the instructions are in the book with the lessons. This makes it easy for my husband to help out with teaching the lessons too. I also love that all of the A Beka Book materials are designed around a 180 day homeschooling year with the lesson numbers at the bottom of each page. This makes it easier to plan all of your lessons ahead of time from September to June, giving a 3 month break in the summer. Thanks Christian Book for being our #1 resource for homeschooling! :)

We tried several other math curriculums before doing Abeka- let me tell yoo- nothing else compares! The lessons are bright and colorful, and very comprehensive. My kids do not get bored as they vary the work done each day. For example one day they may work on reading clocks, subtraction snd measuring items. The following day may have addition, place values and shapes. Its a wonderful math and I highly recommend it!! Also, i did NOT use a teachers guide for 1 and 2 because they were simple to understand.

This book has lots of colorful pictures and interesting visuals. Also shows the "why" of the math better than most books. Keeps the focus of my special needs learner better than dry math facts. Moves slowly with lots of review. One page per day is perfect!

Finally a workbook that my son hasn't tired of. He seems to really enjoy the work. Its colorful and keeps my son's attention. Easy to teach too.

I bought this for our third child after using it for our older two. It is fun and colorful and very simple to follow the directions. I also really appreciate the price point!
