Math-U-See provides a firm foundation in mathematics for students struggling in mathematics and with special needs. Teachers are provided the tools, skills, and training needed to present an explicit, structured, systematic, and cumulative program using multi-sensory teaching techniques.

Math-U-See was written by Steve Demme, a homeschool dad, for the homeschool community. Math-U-See's unique approach targets each individual student and focuses on their specific needs. Rather than a curriculum designed for a classroom, Math-U-See is designed with the homeschool "tutor" environment in mind.

How does the program work in home school setting?

Because we focus on the individual student, we are able to meet the unique needs of each student. The mastery approach utilized by Math-U-See is designed to give the parent clear understanding of when a student is ready to move to the next lesson.


There are many styles of "home schooling" and because of its flexible approach Math-U-See fits well with each style. Here is a brief overview of how Math-U-See fits with a few different styles.

How does Math-U-See fit with the Charlotte Mason approach?
The lessons are short and free of "twaddle." There are lots of opportunities for hands-on experience, and students are encouraged to "teach back" the concepts to the parent (narration).

How does Math-U-See fit with Classical Homeschooling?

How does Math-U-See fit with Traditional teaching methods?
Concepts are taught on dvd, and workbooks are used for practice and review.

How does Math-U-See fit with a Relaxed or Unschooling approach?
The books are not assigned grade levels, so it is easy for students to work at their own pace or interest level.

How does Math-U-See fit with Unit Studies?

A little more about the program.


1. Counting
2. Addition (Subtraction)
3. Multiplication (Division)
4. Exponents (Roots)

Each of these levels is a progressively faster way of doing the prior level and the concepts are used in all levels of mathematics. The difference is what kind of numbers the student is using. In the Math-U-See system we will teach students to learn the first three levels with whole numbers first, including memorization of the facts without finger counting. Once that is mastered then we will move to fractions, then decimals, then integers, and finally algebra.

The students will see that each of the first three level concepts is repeated using the different kinds of numbers. As a student's foundation is solidified, he is able to successfully build upon each new lesson.

During the instruction we provide explicit instruction for the teacher by directly teaching skills for math through our video presentations. Author Steve Demme's video lessons are short and to the point (average 4-7 minutes each). Each lesson specifically teaches using the MULTI-SENSORY tools, designed to engage the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic channels simultaneously in rapid succession. These tools and videos communicate clearly so the teacher can understand how to teach the student. Many students enjoy watching the video lessons as well!

Each level contains ongoing assessment and frequent opportunities to re-teach. This kind of PROGRESS MONITORING provides valuable feedback to ensure the student is mastering the materials.

This year I changed my Math program with my daughter to Math·U·See. I love your program!!! My daughter loves it, and I see steady progress. The material is being retained!!! Your instruction DVD is wonderful. Keep up the good work and I look forward to continuing with you program for as long as I homeschool.
