What is the difference between Math with Confidence and Math Facts That Stick? – Well-Trained Mind

Math with Confidence is an elementary curriculum which parents/teachers can use to teach age-appropriate arithmetic, time-telling, measuring and other topics. We delivered Preschool Math at Home in 2019, Kindergarten Math with Confidence in 2020, First Grade in Spring of 2021, and Second Grade in Spring 2022. We plan to release a grade a year through 6th grade.

Math Facts That Stick -- Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division are supplements that can be used with any math curriculum to help students master the basic arithmetic facts and processes of using arithmetic operations.

Do I need to use Math Facts That Stick alongside Math with Confidence?

The short answer is NO. Here is more from the author, Kate Snow:

A lot of math programs introduce the facts and then assume the instructor will make sure to practice them until their student reaches fluency. Math with Confidence is different--I know you as homeschool parents have plenty to do without having to figure out a math fact practice schedule, so I included lots of practice and review in the book. All kids are different, so I can't guarantee that it will be enough for every kid to achieve fluency. All I can say is that it's been enough for most pilot-test students master the facts without additional work.
However...we all know what summer can do to the skills you so conscientiously taught during the previous school year! The Math Facts That Stick books are an easy and fun way to keep the facts fresh over the summer.
