I am new to MBTP and very excited about the program. However, I never really learned how to use an abacus and am hoping for a link to a tube or other tutorial that demonstrates usage on an abacus similar to the one in the 7-9 Math curriculum kit. S . . .
Need a tutor for material.

Hello everyone! This is our first year homeschooling (chose to because of Covid) and we are having a VERY difficult time supporting our almost 9 year old with the 7-9 curriculum. She is a strong reader and enjoys math, but is struggling significantly . . .
Is there much repetition?

We are half way through our year using the 6-8 curriculum (6 year old {1st grade} and almost 8 year old {2nd grade}). Teaching them together has really worked for us time wise. I was wondering if we continue with the age groups as is and not skippin . . .

We just started MBTP a few weeks ago, and it's going really well. The 7-9 curriculum is great for my 8-year-old son...except for the Spelling quizzes. They are super-easy for him - it almost seems like there's an error in the word list we're accessin . . .

Hi all, I'm looking for some comments from more experienced MBTP families re the final projects. I try to do at least 2 activities for each chapter and find that by the time the final project time is upon us, my children and me are "tired" . . .

Hello, new to all of this. I had ordered 8-10 curriculum for my 8yo, as she did great on the LA assessment, but now looking closer at the curriculum and especially the math, I think she will do better in the 7-9. I reached out to customer service, . . .

I cannot access any websites that utilize flash. I keep reading directions to enable it and I follow the directions but it won't work. I really wanted Carl's Cookie Caper to work for my son. So I will not able to access many websites through this cur . . .

We are in our first 4 weeks to MBTP. My son loved the first 3 weeks using the book Tornado, however here we are in our first week to unit 2 and I've lost him with this book Sarah, Plain and Tall. He has no interest in it. We did one lesson and no I a . . .

My eyes are going blind having to look at the small print. Why is it so small? Also, it is hard to follow. I wish it was easier to follow, print wise.
Math "Moving Up a Level" Kits

I'm not sure what the proper word for this is, but I'm wondering if there are any plans to make kits for people who did math at one level, so don't need all the manipulatives for the next level. For instance, we used Right Start math before MBtP rele . . .
