I thought it helped me teach math so very well with things like you have stated. What grade of Abeka math is your dd using? I used grades 1 and 2 and loved, loved, loved the Curriculum guide. I think it was teaching the concept really well. We are starting fractions and we cut an apple in half and put it back together, then we took groups of crayons and divided them in half. What do you base this on? I am not being argumentative, I am wondering b/c I want what is best for DD and we are using Abeka. In the end it just depends on what you want and what works best for your child(ren). It continues to have color just begins to focus more on the math and less on pictures. There is some color and pictures in the early grades. For children who could care less about color.

BJU teaches the hows and why's to math and teaches them different tricks to figure out how to come to an answer.Ībeka really is made for the child that just wants to know 2+2=4 and wants to move on. They utilize all different types of learning styles whether its visual(using pictures), kinestetic( using manipulatives to see), or whether they are auditory( they include fun stories to read about the characters in each level up to 4th grade, then when it hits 5th grade it switches to textbook form and they can read their own stories). Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there are more pros and cons to each math program. Kids that prefer to focus on one topic at a time rather then being given many different concepts at one time. They may find the constant review to be to much.Ģ. Not with all families but some.Ībeka is great for children needing to learn information a little bit at a time.ġ. I've seen some families get to a point though where they feel they can't teach the math comfortabley. But I've seen children test well in the early grades using Abeka. It is a spiral math program meaning they continously review concepts through out the whole math program. Many children do well with the math program. It starts getting less fun looking by about 4th grade.

Not for children who aren't able to focus on one topic at a time and need to learn it small bits.Ībeka math is just as colorful in the younger grades. BJU math does review but it doesn't continously review through out the entire program.ģ. Not for children who need continous review. Not for children where color distracts them.Ģ.

The teacher manuals are helpful and from the sounds of it the newer ones are even better( I've used BJU math for K, 1,2,3, and now 6th this year).ġ. Its also good for children that pick math up easily as well. Its great for children who need color, and fun little themes to function. I agree, its a slow and steady wins the race type of math program.

My son has been doing great and I was surprised at myself that I was able to do the teaching 'all on my own.' It's doable.īJU is a mastery math program. I've actually been using the 3rd grade this year without the TM because it came out later than the workbook.

You are free to use the TM's scripted lessons to your needs/child's needs. Lessons don't take hours to work through - maybe 30 mins tops - no tears, no complaining, no fuss. The new editions have a review portion on the worksheet each day and cummulative review at the end of each chapter (you can choose to do or not to do). The concepts are built on, reviewed and mastered throughout the year. Why do I like BJU - no drill, no timed-tests, no pressures. I absolutely LOVE the new editions and am disappointed that Math 4 will not be released this year! I had hoped to use the newest editions but oh well. My oldest son who is in 9th is using the BJU Algebra DVD and also doing wonderfully and tests high on his end-of-year test/state requirements. My youngest is currently using the program for K and he is doing great (haven't tested yet this year). My ds who is 3rd this year has enjoyed all the new revisions to BJU Math from K right on up through 3rd and he has also scored way above his grade level. She is using BJU's DVD PreAlgebra this year and has done wonderfully. My dd, who was math-phobic, when she came home from PS back in 2nd grade, started using BJU Math 3 (the 2nd edition) and on through until 6th grade and at the end of last year she tested above the 7th grade levels and was ready for Pre-Algebra. I've been using BJU Math both the 2nd and 3rd editions and my kids have tested way above the norm.
