After using Right Start Math for over 7yrs I am trying something different for my twins!!!

I am trying out McRuffy Color Math Grade 2.

I love how hands on Right Start is and that part works really well for them but it is a little advanced and it is very teacher intensive.

Which is hard to work around when I am teaching it twice a day and have other kids that need my help at all!

We tried out the sample first before Christmas break and decided to give it a try on the full curriculum.

I liked that the sample included 10 lessons for the worksheet and the teachers manual.

It really gave me a chance to try it out.

It does seem more worksheet based then Right Start but also encourages a lot of hands on tools and I am using all that I have learned through the years of using Right Start (still love using an abacus).

The manipulatives are so similar to Right Start in fact that we did not even buy the ones that go with this curriculum.

We are just using the ones that came with our Right Start curriculum.

So far my girls are liking it but it is pretty easy right now since we started in the front of the book and it is 2nd grade.

I am hoping to get a really good feel for the differences between the two curriculums and let you know what I think in a few months!

Check out a look inside the curriculum on my youtube channel.

Anyone else make drastic changes to their homeschool mid-year?

I have liked Right Start so long that it feels disloyal to switch!
