Hi everyone! It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Math-U-See! And thanks to their awesome staff, they’ve offered a great giveaway for my readers today.
One thing I love about Math-U-See is that they teach to mastery, and that means your student might not learn a certain skill right off the bat. They build on concepts so that the math skills actually make sense for your student.
Students also use the MUS visual manipulatives to help further understand whatever skill they are working at the time. However to my surprise the students do not become depending on the manipulatives to solve problems. They’re simply hands on training tools to use until a concept is mastered.
This is what the Math-U-See looks like in our workboxes. I pull out their worksheet each day and keep the video DVD and our little plastic storage container.
I also have a couple fun organization ideas for all of those blocks for you! For our large set of blocks I purchased the Small Craft Organizer from The Container Store. This worked great until we had to start sharing blocks.
Once we had more than one kiddo needing blocks we decided to divvy them up so they could do math at the same time. I found these moveable divider storage at either Michael’s, JoAnn’s, or Walmart in the bead area. (I don’t remember exactly which one, but they all have them.) It’s a bead organizer with adjustable dividers which make it easy to fit all of the various sized blocks.
Here’s the same thing, just a little different. I’ve purchased three of these now, so they’re each a little different, but all work the same.
Since I know those blocks can be pricey, today thanks to the super cool team at Math-U-See I’m giving away one Math-U-See grab bag full of goodies. The bag will contain:
- Manipulative Block Set
- Wooden Block Box
- Math-U-See T-Shirt
Yes, you read that right, I’m giving away a set of Math-U-See blocks and their cool wooden organizer! (That’s over $65 value for you, FREE!)

I love how visual and hands-on MUS is. My daughter loves doing math!
I love the blocks. My kid is such a hands on learner that the manipulative blocks really drive home the concepts. Thanks for the giveaway!
We just started using MUS this year and LOVE it!!! I agree with everything you said in your review, and since I also have 4 kids I see our block problem to be similar to yours as well:)!
My twin girls are in 1st grade and are currently sharing the blocks. I know that next year when my son enters the Kinder program we will need to purchase another set, so winning this would be HUGE for us!!!
Thank you MUS and Erica for this giveaway!!!
Blessings

I love that my daughter has had success with Math U See and it has helped her to enjoy Math. When we first pulled her out of public school to homeschool she would cry every time I took out any Math. Once we started Math U See she asked why no one had every taught her that way before. Now she ASKS to do Math! AMAZING!!!
Love the hands on approach!
I like MUS blocks because they make learnign math really easy.
Like the manipulatives for visual learning along with dvd.
I love it that all my sons watch each others videos and learn right along with one another.
My daughter and I love Math-U-See! We enjoy using the block manipulatives. I love how they help my daughter solidify and visualize mathematical concepts. I also appreciate the simplicity of the lessons on the DVD. She’ll watch them with me! I would love to win this giveaway. Thank you for the chance to win it!
Really great for getting the kids to learn their facts.
