What will I need to buy to use this curriculum?
You need to buy both the Instructor Guide and the Student Workbook. You need simple household objects to count, coins, and index cards. You probably already own everything most of these things, with the possible exception of pattern blocks. These plastic shapes usually cost about $10 at school supply stores or online.
How many lessons are in the program?
Kindergarten Math with Confidence includes 32 weeks of lessons, with 4 lessons per week.
Is my child ready to start Kindergarten Math with Confidence?
Most children will be ready to start Kindergarten Math with Confidence when they are 5 or 6 years old. Your child does not need to have used a formal preschool math program before starting, although it’s helpful if she has already learned to count to 10 and hold a pencil.
Do you sell both books in a bundle?
Yes--we sell both a paperback bundle and a PDF bundle.
In what formats is KMWC available?
We sell KMWC in both paperback and PDF formats. The Instructor Guide is available in Kindle, but the workbook is not because the student has to write in the workbook. The PDF of the Student Workbooks comes with a file for printing in color and a gray-scale file in case you prefer to print in black and white.
