The Old Schoolhouse magazine has an special learners e-newsletter and quite a few readers shared how they use Math-U-See to teach their special learners.
What works for us is Math U See. For some reason she can understand a problem when she can see it worked out with the blocks. And she likes it! -Karen
My only daughter was severely dyslexic until about the age of 14. Though I had an older son who did fine with standard curriculum, I switched to Math U See for her and the younger children. Math U See is hands-on and encourages the student to use all learning avenues. We have found that it helps our children to understand and “see” math. When learning a new concept, we watch a video lesson; then, we use our hands to build the problem. We say the problem aloud and then write it on paper. We are involving all our senses, which is key for students to understand and “see” how math works. Even children without learning disabilities benefit from using all their senses or learning avenues. - Ladonna
About 6 months ago we started using Math U See. It is a fabulous program! My son knew none of his math facts when I began homeschooling him in January. He has learned almost all of his addition and subtraction facts 0-9 since February. My daughter has also learned her math facts quickly with this program. I would highly recommend Math-U-See to anyone,including those homeschool kids with special needs such as Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia.
