Tell me about the Math With Confidence curriculum – Well-Trained Mind

Well Trained Mind Press is publishing the Math with Confidence series because we believe that Kate Snow’s methods most closely align with the principles and methods described in The Well-Trained Mind, 4th Edition. You can read the series description on our website. Check out Cathy Duffy's review of the series to date.

How many levels will there be?

The MWC series will have 5 levels: Kindergarten, and Grades 1-4.

When will each level be published?

We delivered Kindergarten MWC in Spring 2020, First Grade MWC in Spring 2021. Second grade will follow in 2022, third grade in 2023 and fourth grade in 2024. PDFs are available first (and only) on our website. As soon as the printed books are shipped to distributors, paperbacks will be available from our online store and from other vendors.

Do you have placement tests?

This article from our website will help you find the right level for your children. We also provide extended samples on the product page on the website; take a look at the sample to see which level is the best fit for your children.

What will I need to buy for each grade level?

You need both an Instructor Guide and a Student Workbook. These are/will be sold individually; Kindergarten Math With Confidence is sold as a bundle for ease of ordering.

What formats will be available?

The books are/will be available in paperback from our online store and from other vendors, and in PDF only from our online store. The Instructor Guide is available in ebook format from ebook vendors, but the workbook is not because the student has to write in the workbook.
