Our Full Review
 
The Mathematical Reasoning Level A curriculum is an all-in-one workbook for kindergarten students.
It covers Common Core math standards and is aligned with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).
The curriculum follows a spiral approach, circling back to reinforce concepts over time.
 
Program Components:
The workbook pages feature colorful and visual designs with pictures and shapes.
There is a detailed table of contents listing the skills covered in each section.
It refers to a website where students can access visual math manipulatives.
The workbook covers 5 main domains: numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis/probability.
The skills are spiraled throughout the workbook.
 
Benefits:
The visual nature makes it good for visual learners who respond well to graphics.
It is budget-friendly at only $30, making it accessible for many families.
The independent workbook format works well for large families or students able to work  independently.
It could be used as a supplement to other curricula or as an assessment tool.
 
Drawbacks:
It is not ideal for kinesthetic learners who need hands-on manipulation of objects. There are no physical manipulatives.
There is little guidance on how the skills are taught or the reasons behind them.
High-touch learners who need close support may struggle with the independent workbook format.
 
Summary:
The Mathematical Reasoning Level A curriculum is an affordable option that works well for visual, reluctant, or independent learners on a budget. However, it lacks manipulatives and guidance suited for hands-on or high-touch learners.
 
Product Description
 
Forget boring math lessons and dreaded drill sheets. This fun, colorful 256-page book uses engaging lessons with easy-to-follow explanations, examples, and charts to make kindergarten mathematical concepts easy to understand. It can be used as a textbook or a comprehensive workbook with your textbook to teach the math skills and concepts that students are expected to know in kindergarten-and several concepts normally taught in first grade. This book emphasizes problem-solving and computation to build for success in higher-level math and math assessments.

Every lesson is followed with a variety of fun, colorful activities to ensure concept mastery. The lessons and activities spiral slowly, allowing students to become comfortable with concepts, but also challenging them to continue building their problem-solving skills. This book teaches more than mathematical concepts; it teaches mathematical reasoning, so students learn to devise different strategies to solve a wide variety of math problems. It is written to the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
