Right Start or Math U See

[SamGroom]

I am going to get a math ciriculm for my dd who is 5 1/2 and is now very into numbers and math.

I have heard great things about both programs but can't make up my mind.

So what do you like/dislike about each one???

We use Right Start. My DD loves the various ways they teach the math concepts. (Although it goes a little slow for her, she loves math. We can't seem to get in more than one lesson at a time though.....) She likes the abucus and the games. It's nice to have hands on ways to expressing math.

I feel like I have been saying this a dozen times per week lately.

We started with MUS. Novelty of the blocks wore off quickly. Both mom and daughter got very bored and dreaded MUS lessons. It basically is a quick look at a short video, then 6 pages of worksheets. The pros is that it is one of the very few programs my 4 year old daughter could do pretty much independently. But she didn't like to work alone, we both love learning together.

A few other math programs, enter RightStart. I rave about this program all the time, but in short, it totally works, it is fun and creative, and we finally look forward to math!

We do one lesson at a time, it takes about 20 minutes, sometimes over if we do the games (per my dd's request). We're finishing up RS A in the next few days and starting B in July.
