I forgot to mention that both my sister and I bought the Math-U-See starter blocks set at the Homeschool Convention this past weekend.
I was really surprised how much Abby enjoyed them and how quickly she learned some new concepts. She immediately caught on as was able to use them to count by 10's and even 100's!She also was able to do some basic addition, subtraction and multiplication!
You can see in the above picture that she just put two 1o blocks together and said they equaled 20. Then, I flipped one over to represent that we were subtracting 10 from 20 and she said it equaled 10. I was so excited! These are awesome blocks!
Plus, she made her own Letters U See set:
I talked to my sister and my 6 year old nephew, Matthew also loves the blocks and he was doing some math problems with them immediately as well. He also thought it was great that the blocks were named after him...Matthew-See. LOL!We both highly recommend these blocks. We didn't purchase the curriculum to go with the blocks, as we wanted to see if it was something the kids would get into.
Do you use Math-U-See? I'd love to know what you and your children think about the workbooks.

This is our first year using Math-U-See and I absolutely love it! As you know my daughter has Down Syndrome and really needed the bonus of hands on materials but I believe I would use it with typical children too. The workbooks are great and she loves watching the instructional video for each lesson as well. I am very pleased with it all and will use it again next year!
That is so great! I cant wait to get that for Noah!
How nice, those blocks very neat! So hard to get stuff like that now from over here. Just wondering, do you have your daughter play with soma cubes?
