Math U See Works for Us!
I have a little secret to share. Math is not my strong point, it never has been. Just recently I was looking through some old photos and found a note from my first grade teacher. Her note said, "Jennifer has had no difficulty learning to read this year and is doing well in the highest reading group, she could, however, use some extra work with her 1 - 10 math facts."
