Kids Receive Math Books with Smiles :-)

I was browsing Ruth’s Blessed at Home blog when I saw this great picture.
Kids Math-U-See

She said, “We were so excited when our UPS man delivered out math books! The kids can’t wait to start.”

Yet another reason why I love working at Math-U-See :-)

Quick poll: Were you ever excited about math books when you were a kid? Leave a comment and let us know.

Well Used Algebra

Meet Mike, he uses Math-U-See’s Algebra 2 and loves it.

He enjoys using it so much that he has worn down the edges of his student book. Here is a close up shot of the book.

He is junior in highschool and is also taking classes at a local bible college.

How much do you love your math book?  :-)

4 Year Old Block Artist

Jodi sent me in this picture of her daughter,

“My 4-year-old daughter plays with the MUS blocks every day while her older brother is working in his Beta book. She already knows which colors go together to make ten, so she’s building a good foundation for learning addition facts. Today she made a block chair, and I snapped a picture. We all love Math-U-See!”

With a matching pink three outfit :-)

All right, I know that lots of creative ladies read this blog, I need you to help me come up with a cuter (is that a word?) caption for this picture (if you are a guy and think you can compete be my guest).
