In my last post I “I’ll send a free Math-U-See tote bag to the first person to send me a picture of themself at the Math-U-See booth” Well the first person to send me one was Karen, author of the rohanknitter blog. She sent this picture and said,

“OK, this isn’t me, it’s 2 of my kids, but they are standing in front of the MUS booth at the convention yesterday. It’s not a very good shot and they were a little embarrassed that their dad was taking pictures in the vendor hall. ; )”

At the Math-U-See booth
If you look closely you can see my dad on the DVD playing in the background :-)

Congrats to Karen for submitting the first picture and winning a free tote-bag! :-)

Math-U-See Rocks!

At least that is what one Math-U-Fan thinks :-)

Tammy, a homeschooling mom of three sent us these pictures and had this to say,

“M (10years old) had a smile on her face after every problem she solved and
she had her “I get it!” happy face on. She could SEE the math and now
understands how to borrow without any crying or fighting! It is so
nice when teaching goes smoothly and is so easy to understand. What a
great start to our day!

I say during almost every new lesson ‘I wish I had MUS when I was
learning math in school.’ I really do! Then I would have learned to
like and understand math like she is.”

Math Rocks

Hmmm I wonder where they got the idea of writing messages on a white board :-)

Math Rocks

“M2, my 7-yr old, wasn’t understanding math before MUS,
now she gets it! And the icing on the cake is SHE LOVES IT! Now she
can’t wait until tomorrow so she can do her math! Last night, Sunday
at 9:30pm she suddenly exclaims ‘I can’t wait to do my math tomorrow!
I’m starting a new lesson!’ That is sweet music to a homeschooling
mother’s ears.”

I enjoy getting emails like this, it means we must be doing something right :-)

Have fun teaching Math!

They will be at the Math-U-See booth at CHAP, up in Harrisburg PA this weekend at the Homeschool convention. Stop by and tell them you saw their RV on the Math-U-Blog.

My dad will also be walking around for a little while so see if you can catch him as well.
