I really enjoy using Jump math with homeschooling. I do wish I could find a full instructional book or video to compliment it, however, it is usable on its own. I am having my children skim through the notebook problems instead of taking hours to recopy them and only use those problems when I need extras to be sure they understand a concept. I have started to use Books 7.1 and 7.2 as in the upper levels I wanted more book work without wasting time recopying. I do use many other math tools (workbooks, computer programs and manipulatives for example), but this could be used as a stand alone...Pros:Builds lessons by first laying a framework and slowly building on to it. Excellent examples. Kids can go at their own pace. Able to teach in short sessions.Cons:Sometimes inadequate instructions for problems.Notebook sessions take 10x longer to recopy than do so only a few are actually useful.Watch for errors... each book has a few errors. Editor's proofreading skills are lacking.
