So happy that I chose it the second time around!
This is the second time using Horizon Math. I used it for my son K-6 25 years ago when that’s as far as it went. We were so sad that they didn’t go through High School and we struggled with finding something we liked even half as much. Now I’m helping to school my grandson and again chose Horizon. I am especially happy that they have High School levels now too!!

Very pleased
We are just 2 weeks into using this. So far. We love it. My boys really enjoy the colorful pages. They ask to do Math!
The boxes set come with a Teacher guide, Kindergarten Math book 1 and book 2.
I like that the lessons are shorter and they review previously taught material. So far each lesson is one page front an back. Some days we can do 2 lessons.

Great With Small Flaws
The work load is perfect for K. I think they did a great job teaching most things however some things like teaching a kid to count money with quarters when they can't yet add 25 to 25 is bizarre. However I skip many of the worksheets as I found them to be a little pointless or didn't agree with having my child fill a whole page with one number.

I don't like that because they made it so you could tear out the worksheets in the back some of the teachers material falls out over time of use.

Over all I would definitely use again and would recommend to anyone. This is set up in the style of workbook learning and does not have extra activities or play learning. However, It would be very easy to add activities in if you wished to do so.

Great Math Curriculum
We are almost done with the first book and loving it. My son is definitely more math minded so the spiral approach to Horizons has been working out very well. It introduces new concepts rather quickly but you get lots of review throughout the lessons. I think a child who is struggling with math might find this too fast, so definitely keep that in mind. So far we are doing well with it and having fun along the way!

Great
This has been perfect for my kindergartener. It starts out very basic, which is fine by me because it builds her confidence. The colorful pages in the workbook are attractive. The teacher's manuals are well written. My daughter's only complaint is that it doesn't have tests like her older siblings' books have. :)

Disappointing
I much preferred Singapore Math Essentials that I used with my older child. Horizons is just like working through a workbook with very little ideas for hands-on teaching.

We used Horizons Math K for my 5 year old daughter and we are so pleased with it that we will be getting Math 1 this year I was hesitant at first because Horizons is known as a Christian company and we are a secular family but there is no religious material in this workbook My daughter enjoyed the bright colors fun lessons and was not overwhelmed with work The pages are well laid out and easy to follow The work challenged her just enough to learn new things without overwhelming her Great job Horizons!

My daughter is in Kindergarten and we have used Horizons K this year We love it It is pretty advanced for Kindergarten; she is now doing addition with two digits (for example 87+2)and subtraction She also has learned fractions (1/2 1/3 1/4) money and time It has kept her challenged but at the same time has not bored her with endless drills I have not used the teacher's manual a lot this year but will need to as we get into more complicated math in future years just for ideas of the best way to explain new concepts to her I highly recommend Horizons products if you have an advanced or gifted student They are great for keeping them challenged
