I am so happy that I found you! I had been asking God to guide me in finding the right resources. Not only is the curriculum that you shared absolutely wonderful, but I think the real blessing was Him guiding me to this video in general. You truly do give off light and I just thank you so much for gracing us with that moment with the scripture. It was beautiful and encouraging ♥️
I was *just* looking up math curriculum for my middle-schooler before I went to bed last night! I was never given a foundation of practical math and was pushed into Algebra, Algebra 2 and calculus! I was pushed and never truly succeeded! This is, again, a beautiful God-Thing again Miss Sherry, you're such a nugget of gold 🙌🏻♥️😘 You're so dearly loved!
I do so relate with your story! I think a lot of us have felt the same way about "higher" math. Thank you for your sweet encouragement, it means a lot to me :)
This is really great, I looked through it and love the variety and fun problems that they have. Older is often better and here is another example! Thank you for your shorts video so I could find this!
1. Lay it flat is so much better for my style to. 2. Thank you for the gorgeous covers! 3. I will spend my summer doing these with the kiddos. I love switching programs for each focus of reading, writing or English, and math each season. Thank you again for the amazing finds! I think children thrive in switching style of things every few months while keeping certain staples like books and vocabulary.
Thank you so much for this! After learning from you how to print & bind a book, I printed a copy of Wentworth’s primary arithmetic. But now I can see how much easier a larger lay flat book will be to use! I just get so excited about these beautiful resources that have stood the test of time. Thank you for sharing this. And especially thank you for always pointing us to Him. His kingdom come His will be done. On earth as it is in heaven.
This will be our fourth year using your resources! 😊 We still use The Lesson Books and Gentle Grammar and I still use The Record Book. Such great resources! Wentworth's is a great program, too. Thank you for sharing. And God Bless!
I’ve been looking forward to this video since you shared the short clip. Just wanted to share that the last few minutes really spoke to my heart. Thank you for being a blessing and sharing how to use these resources and encouraging us moms in the trenches. 💛
I love everything you share! Truly! So much wisdom. My grandmother in Brazil also had 15 kids and I always wish I could just ask her so many questions, so I feel like I get a little bit of her wisdom through your videos ❤️God bless you!!
Sherry! Thank you so much for this! I’ve been so excited for this video. 🙂 I have the Stayer-Upton Books, my daughter loves them. She is so excited to be able to have bigger print and option to write inside. Thank you so much for all your time you give to this community. ❤️
Always encouraged by your videos! Thank you for this! Also, I would definitely purchase these math books preprinted if they were available. Your Lessons Books and Grammar have been a blessing in our home and something I can easily fit into our very small homeschool budget.
You know, you may be able to purchase these old ones printed out--I have heard of other people having it done, I think it comes half-sheet sized. Check into it--it's right there on the right-hand side of the book on Google books I believe. I'm so happy when I can help other moms!
Thank you for sharing!! I have one of those small math books and I’ve always loved it. But you’re right it’s difficult to hold open and use. I’ll definitely be printing it out and using your cover. Beautiful work on the cover. ❤️ Love your bible study too!! Thank you for sharing. That blessed my heart.
You are such a blessing! Thanks so much of all the really good materials that you share with us here. As a homeschool mom living abroad, you have no idea how much these downloads, specialky the free ones, help us all the way here!!! So once again, thanks a bunch! God bless you and all of your loved ones. XOXO
I love this and the covers you created are beautiful! So colorful and vibrant. I have noticed that my children (and even I as a student) preferred high contrast and colorful worksheets with few problems/activities on each. They seem to even retain what they learned better. I wonder if you could do a video on tips for children to retain what they are learning. Perhaps something they can travel with to stay consistent? Our family is on the move a lot. If we could pack their Bible verses, math facts, grammar somehow, and make it portable! lol. Thank you Sherry!
Wow, that's a pretty tall order--although we pretty much do that with our school crates. I understand the need for kids to have simplified pages, too, as not a few of mine were the same.
@@MomDelights Oh, so sorry for piling suggestions. I find your videos so timely and helpful. I noticed you homeschool very similarly to how we homeschool and just looking for tweaks here and there. ☺ Thank you so much!
Just bought your lesson book for my first grader and its it's coming tomorrow! Also I had a question about how Wentworth compares to Ray's arithmetic? Is one more difficult or faster paced? Also would you recommend sticking with one author like Ray's or strayer Upton or Wentworth's all the way through or would a student be confused switching from one to another? As always though, I am always so excited to see a video post from you! And I am so blessed by your insights on Scripture, what a blessing to hear we can be salt and light in our little sphere❤
I think that depends on the child and the place they are in learning. Ray's does tend to move ahead pretty quickly, which is good for kids who move that fast. Wentworth is one of those that help kids meditate in each area, but I have a fast mover who loves it, she just reads and skips wherever she needs to. I should have mentioned this, but the Strayer-uptons are about 15 years newer, so there are mentions and pictures of cars and airplane travel, etc. I have switched my children whenever it was needed, and I *think* they're pretty normal, given they have a creative for a mom :P
I noticed a cool benefit in my book of Wentworth while researching it to to tonight, that it starts primary with physical amounts or lines plus lines instead of abstract numbers right off the bat. I think this incredibly age appropriate and leans itself to playing with cars or Legos or blocks when playing with the littles for reinforcement without even feeling like you are. Today me and my littles were playing Hi Hi Cheerio and my 2 year old was counting her cherries, my five year old kept adding and subtracting then counting to make sure he was correct, and they were also learning taking turns/ how to lose and be happy for each other's successes. But in regards to the math, it is so foundational to learn the manipulative or visual stage before the abstract and Wentworth does this for the first half of primary! This is great for K or review in first grade, but looking at the end of the book this is building advanced skills for first for second grade even.
I’d love to know what devotional you used at the end! Also-will be looking into this math. Right now we use the good and the beautiful. Was thinking of switching to apologia next year. But also was going to do a financial class in high school (I have a 1, 3, 5, and 8 yr old right now) but a program with everything involved already would be great!
I just love your generous heart in sharing all this and those beautiful covers!!! Question for you- in an earlier math video you showed Everyday Arithmetic (Hoyt and Peet) and I’m wondering what made you choose Wentworth over the Everyday Arithmetic? We have been using Wentworth for 3rd grade level but thinking of switching…and your input mean so much
Where would you recommend to start a unconfident 8th/9th grade who has used multiple math programs, but is seemingly "behind"? I noticed there's also a Grammar School arithmetic from this series. What is the difference? TIA! YOU are a blessing and thank you for sharing your passion for the Lord and Homeschooling!
Lots of questions here, not entirely sure I have enough information to give you a great answer. One thing I think I can say is that most Amish don't go past 8th grade math, and yet they run successful businesses and seem to do quite well.
I know this is an older video, but do you still recommend this? I'm interested in starting this with my 5.5 year old son to see how he does with it. I would be a new homeschooler. Would you say it's pretty rigorous?
Thank you for sharing this resource. I am interested in printing it. Where would I be able to find the answers as well as the steps on how to do each problem? Thank you for your help.
Yes, I have extensive experience with Ray's, as this was my first vintage math set. You may need to start over, just go really fast as a review through the Practical book, and then when you hit some difficulty slow down. Hope this helps!
Thank you for this resource, quick question would you recommend this series versus number stories for primary age? My son will be 6 and I’ve been looking for a math program. Again thank you!
I think you could start with Number Stories, then go to the Wentworth, as Number Stories sort of starts at the very beginning and slowly builds on concrete understandings to the abstract, then Wentworth would carry on from there.
Math has been a very frustrating subject in our house. I am very math minded, but two of mine and another I homeschool are not. They are now 9th grade and 8th grade. We struggle to get through basic addition. I think the other girl I homeschool struggles with number sense period. I watched your video about demystifying math which was before this video. Would you recommend Wenworth over the Hamilton books or Number Stories?
I actually think Number Stories would be best for someone who is struggling with math sense. One other thing to keep in mind is that there is actually a "math maturity" stage for each persons brain, and the age at which we reach the cognitive maturity for math concepts varies from person to person, just as in the ability to comprehend reading basics.
Wentworth Arithmetics 1, 2 and 3 no longer seems available on Google Books. Is Ray's arithmetic comparable or is there another way of getting Wentworth's Arithmetic?
Good news! I've checked the links and they are still available--you just have to click on the image of the book on the page on the link. A lot of people are having the same problem, but I promise they're still there😁
@@MomDelights Maybe they are not available in Canada. I click on the image of the book and nothing happens. I can get the Primary book but not 1,2 or 3.
That's crazy! I suppose just grab a decent printer--pray about it and see what God will open up. Our current printer was a display model that we picked up for 1/2 price, and it is just an HP all-in-one, old enough that there are scads of cheap printer cartridges out there. It's usually not the price of the printer, but the ink, so it's good to know there are other sources.
I think our local library offers printing, maybe they would allow it? We also have self print stations at our office supply store so you can print anything. Hope you find a solution! We’re using our old printer that’s still hanging on!
Woah hold on a bit…. My ten year old is in 5th grade and he is about half way done in book one. Are you sure he should be in book 3??? I am so confused. And the math is just about 5th grade level too.
I'm genuinely sorry that I said something which confused you in this video. I honestly don't remember what I said about that, but I want to encourage you to use your own best instincts, which are more valuable than anything I might say in my videos :)
