RightStart™ Mathematics Level F Worksheets Second Edition

Level F is a step up in difficulty (as expected for the grade level), but I think this is where it all really comes together and you start seeing the fruit of all the years of teaching for understanding, not just memorizing. As my kids reach this level and the subsequent levels, even though they have moments of frustration and want me to just tell then what to do already haha, I can see how they have learned to think about math, and I love that.

We've been using RightStart from the beginning and still absolutely love it. My kids excel at problem solving and really seem to "get" math. Like many kids, they don't like multivides, but we break them up over several lessons so they aren't as overwhelming. I'm always impressed by how RightStart teaches concepts in a way that helps even me as the teacher to understand them better. Excellent program.

I've loved Rightstart. I can really feel the Montessori influence, and I appreciate that it moves from concrete to abstract. It's built in such as way that kids understand the concepts before they start applying algorithms. It also allows the child to use self discovery of concepts and principles. As we get into the higher levels., I'm finding that it starts jumping around too much. In level D, I had to use another program to work on mulltiplication facts. Level D just went through them too quickly and then moves on as if they have them down. In level E, I started noticing even more that new skills would be introduced one after the other without enough practice to solidify the child with it. Those same shaky skills would then combine with previous concepts in ensuing lessons. It's leading to frustration. I spoke recently to another homeschool parent who said to me that Rightstart becomes scattered after a certain point. I have to agree.
