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 the manipulatives that they use. It’s a great tool for the kids to use! Thanks
I like the use of manipulatives. I have not had a chance to use them with my kindergartner, but I would love a set to introduce them to my daughter.
The newest workbooks are filled with even more problems to assist in mastering the concepts. Completely devoted to this program for all 4 of my kids.
I like the hands on aspect of Math-U-See!
I am just starting on our homeschool journey with my kindergartener. I was just looking up MUS last night to supplement our math needs. I’m really excited about how hands on it is and it seems like it will make the math easy and fun to learn. Thank you!!
I’m excited about the manipulatives
I love that it’s multi-sensory.
We just started homeschooling and I haven’t even tried Math U See yet. I have heard great things about it, though!
We just started using MUS this year and my children have enjoyed it so much already. They absolutely love Mr. Demme and they ask to do math!! So different from last year! I like that the DVDs and that they can watch him teach and that the lessons are not that long. Thanks for the chance to win, love your website:)
I’ve never used them, but as a new homeschool I love anything that makes it exciting and fun for my son to learn.
