The only con I've found is that at times, they can be behind the "norm" of public school and it might effect year end test results. For example, here in 3rd grade kids learn single digit multiplication and division and then in 4th grade go back around the learn double digit multiplication and division. With Math-U-See, you learn single and double digit multiplication in one book and then single and double digit division in the other. So a child may struggle with single digit division on the end of the 3rd grade year test (if your state requires it) but would already be able to do double digit multiplication. And then in 4th grade it all comes back together. Hopefully that makes sense - it's not a con of the curriculum, just something to be aware of!

Pros
My kids enjoy the mastery concept - they understand all there is to understand about one subject before they move on. I love that I can control their pace. If they grasp a concept, we don't have to do all the different worksheets - we just move on. But
Cons
Doesn't focus on memorizing facts so you need a separate resource for that.
Do you recommend?
YES! I have 3 kiddos that are at different math levels and a 4th that will start next year. Math-U-See makes math fairly quick and easy for all of them!
