Why did you choose this?
My pre k child has a lot of those math skills down. I decided to get this to slowly start him on while his sister does 2nd grade math.
I used the 2nd grade level with my older child.
This math curriculum comes highly recommended amongst the classical/Charlotte Mason homeschooling community.
