Right Start Math Review Part 2 // Level A, Level B, Level C, Level D, Level E
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 08. 2024
- We have been using Right Start Math in our homeschool for two years now, and have done Level's A, B, C, D, and just starting Level E. In this video we
are going to review each Level for RightStart as well as a short segment on a one on one lesson with one of my beautiful children (baby cameo in most).
We love this Right Start Math curriculum and how confident my children are in Math. They usually ask if we can do Math first because we have so much fun doing
the games! It sounds corny, but it is true.
Homeschool Math should not be something you dread, and it should be laid out easily for you and your kids to follow along. And more importantly, you
should ENJOY IT.
Forget the drill and kill. Try this out instead.

#Rightstartmath #homeschool #homeschoolcurriculum
Hey guys! I'm Summer Meyers, homeschool mom to five kiddos, and we talk all things homeschool on this channel. Homeschool community is important to me--talking about homeschool and encouragement to be our best selves for our children is powerful. I love talking home education and really diving into what makes homeschool work. We are an ecletic homeschool, mixing Charlotte Mason, Wildschooling/adventure schooling, and Unit studies. I have kinesthetic learners as well as visual learners who thrive on being outdoors and soaking up God's green earth. I love hearing from other families who are choosing to school at home, so please introduce yourself in the comments! Being at home is hard, and taking on the education of our kids is even harder. Know that you are not alone in this journey and that you can do it!

I absolutely love your personality and humor. :). Thank you for another very thorough Rightstart video. Been binging on RS videos trying to learn more (we are on a spring break). I just purchased B and D this weekend off of Rainbowresource and also pieced together the big math set and saved almost $100. I wanted to try RS last year but wasn’t ready yet. Everyone says its very teacher intensive and hard with multiples but I talked through the samples for most levels and its really not any more than what we’ve been doing already. Definitely will be able to keep doing our LOF books. I’ll be creeping around on your other videos soon. :)
🙌🙌 High five on putting together your math set! Taking that jump on a new curriculum is always nerve wracking. Especially with multiple kids! Enjoy your spring break! 💕💕
I’ve been looking for a math program that is really verbal and game-based! And I’m thinking about giving this one a shot for my 5 yo. I appreciate your review on this!
Thanks so much for this! Love your personality!
Thank you! 🥰 I'm glad it was helpful! Have a wonderful weekend! 💕💕
Loved this!!!
Yay!! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Wow, this video was super thorough and helpful!! And your personality is right up my alley. 😁 Thank you for this video! Subbing now 😊
Yay! I'm so glad it was helpful! I have a motor-mouth and tend to talk forever so I'm glad it wasn't THAT over the top! 😂😅💕💕
Such a great and helpful video! Thank you.
Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful! 💕💕
Thank you for these two videos. They were really comprehensive and so helpful. 👍😊🥰
I'm so glad they were helpful! 💕💕 Thanks for stopping by!
Henry just wants to do school lol!
He sure does! 😆😆❤️
Oh my goodness! Couldn’t agree more with your comments regarding math done together and discussion ❤️ I’m so excited to start this curriculum with my kiddos! Thank you so much for doing this review!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful! What levels are you guys thinking about tackling?
Thank you so much for the series on the math! I just got it at a homeschool convention I think both of my daughters really need this foundation I was a little intimidated going to do both A and E so this helped me so much to get a grasp on what it is like!
I'm so glad it was helpful! We just finished E and it was an awesome level. The warm-ups can be pretty heavy, so don't be afraid to break up the lesson if it's taking her a long time to get through the equations. Also, check out the Facebook group--so many smart women on there who are so helpful! Can't wait to hear how your year goes! ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing! The two videos are so helpful.
I'm so glad! I'll be doing a few more math reviews in April, so check back then for updates! ❤️
@@SummerMeyers I will.
So happy to have found your channel 👍
I'm glad you found it too! 🤣😉💕
@@SummerMeyers Your videos on this math program are the best, you have convinced me I’m making the right choice. ☺️
I will have an advanced 2nd grader and slower learning 4th grader. I’m feeling guilty that we never finished level C last year. Do you think it would be okay to jump to level D so my oldest isn’t so far behind? We started RSM after leaving math u see when my oldest couldn’t understand the concepts outside of the blocks. I found it because of you!!!! Thank you!
Thanks for all of this! Where are you from? Trying to figure out the accents. Thinking about diving into Right Start for my 7 year old and possibly 5 year old as well.
I'm from all over! Haha! I was born in New Jersey, raised in Japan, but my home base was North Carolina and that's typically where I say I'm from.
Right Start Level A is perfect for rising kindergarteners--but don't be afraid to skip ahead if you feel like it's too easy! Lots of people I know start their 5/6 year olds with Level B, but I love Level A because I think my kids had so much fun with the math and got good number sense.
Sorry that was a lot longer than I was planning on. 😅💕💕
I really appreciate the time you took in both videos to show us the manipulatives and explain the curriculum. Can you give me any advice on how to juggle so many subjects with so many kids. I have three kids and it seems like if I teach each one a math lesson then I’m too tired to teach them each a reading comp lesson and then any other science/ss lesson after that.
I hear that! Juggling a bunch of kids and curriculums can be absolutely exhausting. The thing that has helped me the most is sticking with my current curriculum for multiple years. When you know your curriculum well, it becomes easier to teach and faster. This meant that sometimes, the curriculum we were using with our kids might work really well with one, and a bit of a squeaky fit for another. It's a long term benefit, but not always ideal.
I'm experimenting with science and history programs currently that have taken a lot of pressure off of me--Story of the world Audiobook has been a life saver as far as history, and we've been using Mystery Science (there's a free version if you want to try it out) that requires minimal effort on my part. Not thrilled that it's on the computer, but it has been perfect for our elementary years.
I also have a video on how to school multiples. I'll link that for you. ❤️❤️

Here's a video I did about working with multiple ages.
I also have a toddler and baby video if that's the season of life you are in. 🤗❤️
@@SummerMeyers thank you!
Question: could magnetiles be used in place of the tangram panels? Thank you for the review and your time!
We love Magna tiles at my house so I can understand the appeal! Some of the lessons are specifically designed for the geopanels. Especially the lessons talking about place value because the little blue gram blocks fit exactly 10 along the edge of the square panel. For that reason, I don't think so.
The geopanel lessons are really cool, but they aren't used a ton. My kids love to put them together and there's a lot of great spacial reasoning going on so I wouldn't skip.❤️❤️
@@SummerMeyers thank you!! Exactly what I needed to know.
Thank you for such a thorough video! I have a 9yo who is in "third grade" this year. It's our first year homeschooling, and I'm looking into the possibility of a different math curriculum for next year. If he's never done Right Start, is it something that would be hard to start at this point (like 4th grade-ish)? Is this a program that really is best used from the beginning?
Not at all! My first year of RightStart, my daughter was in 4th grade and she's in Algebra now after using RightStart all the way through! It kind of depends on how comfortable you think your 9 year old is with their multiplication. Our first year we used Masterbooks, and they did not have any foundation for multiplication. Which meant we needed to start with Level D for her. If you think your 9 y/o is solid with their understanding (not memorized, just understand and are flexible with multiplication) then you can go ahead and start with Level E. If all they have done this year is memorize multiplication facts, then I would start with Level D to make sure they know how to play with the numbers, and can easily skip count. What program did you use this year?
This was SO helpful! I was going to go a different direction because I had heard this math is overwhelming. But as I'm watching you do it with your child I think this would be perfect for my son. Are there any tips you might have on how to not let it feel overwhelming? Like some ideas on the things others says they don't like about it. I think if I'm ahead on the harder parts for mom I might be ready and prepared for that. I just really think my son will enjoy this so much more than what we've been using.
I'm so glad it was helpful! What level are you guys looking at?
Tips, set a timer don't go past that mark. I've done this off and on, and I've realized that the years we have done just 20 to 30 minutes (depending on age) they absorb and retain so much better. Sometimes we end up doing 2 or 3 lessons and sometimes just half of one when we time it.
I think what might be overwhelming would be the amount of cards and manipulatives. I have it organized in a three set plastic drawer and I try to put stuff away as soon as we are done with it. Haven't lost any pieces yet! *fingers crossed knock on wood*
Otherwise I think the program is pretty straightforward. Everything is scripted and I don't have to prepare anything except maybe game play.
@@SummerMeyers We are looking at level c. Thanks for the tips!
@@bethanyhall1524 Best of luck! Level C is a lot of fun--they do a lot of geometry drawing which my kids went crazy over. ❤️
Can I start with level B if my daughter has never worked with an abacus before? My daughter is familiar with adding, subtracting, but doesn’t have math facts memorized. She knows even and odd. Has been introduced to money but hasn’t mastered it. Not sure if I should start with a or b for first grade?
Yes! At the beginning of each level they have review lessons and a good thorough introduction to the abacus and how it works. These you can skip when you move on to level C, but they put them intentionally in there for people coming into RS in the middle. And honestly, it's not that complicated. She'll catch on quick! 🤗💕💕
For Level C, D, E what “grade level “ would you say it’s for? thank you! I been watching your videos on this curriculum. TIA
Hey! Welcome! I don't like assigning grade level too much because I've talked and worked with kids of all ages in those levels-- it really depends on where they are currently at and the assessment can really help determine where your kids should start. That being said, Kindergarten is typically started around levels A/B, so C would be around 1st/2nd grade. D is where multiplication is hit hard so 3rd/4th would be age appropriate. E would be around 5th/6th grade.
Was that helpful or confusing? Haha! 😅 My best recommendation would be to take the assessment.
Will if feel lost if we jump in to book B and skip A since we already did a different kindergarten math?
Not at all. B covers everything that A does at a quicker pace. A lot of people I know skip level A for Kindergarten, and go straight to B. I enjoy Level A--it's so much fun! But you won't miss any of the concepts if you go to B. How old is your kid? ❤️
@@SummerMeyers thanks for the response! That is encouraging! My child is 6 and we used Horizons math this past year but didn’t get all the way through.
@@annat9005 If he has already done a year of math I wouldn't sweat starting Level B. He'll do just fine. ❤️
I assume that you find it doable to use this with multiple ages seeing as you are making it work! I have been told by a few that 20 minutes per lesson is a reasonable expectation. Would you agree with that? We will have 4 levels of math here and I'm trying to piece together in my mind how our routine could look if we jump into RS. Any specific large family tips? 😬😅
Definitely do-able! And worth it for us! 20 minutes is fair--in the higher levels there is less time with me and more independent work. I tend to start my oldest kid, then the next. Bounce between 2, then I can add a third if the lesson is going faster or the warm up is something they do by themselves. Level A needs my full attention, but rarely takes very long. What levels are you doing? I would highly recommend the right Start buy and sell Facebook group. Those ladies know their stuff and it's very active.
@@SummerMeyers ok, that does sound doable! We would have levels A & D for sure and trying to figure out if B or C is a better fit for the child between those 2. If our eldest moves to RS he will be in F. So quite a spread of levels! Thank you!
That sounds like a fun group! ❤️
I will have a 2nd grader and a 4th grader. We tried math u see and switched, because concepts weren’t understood outside of the blocks.
They were both working in level C last year, but we didn’t finish it. I’m feeling guilty that my 4th grader will still be in C this year….Do you think I could jump to D without finishing C for him?
This is random but I want to know what board games you have!!?
😆😅 Too many to count! I had a serious purge earlier this month and have managed to cram it into one cabinet, but it was flowing into another room. Do you guys love board games too?
