twoxcell Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 My dd just turned 5, but we are doing K work already. At the beginning of the year I ordered her the old earlybird 2b K from ebay. I wasn't all that impressed with it, because it is so thin. I then ordered the SM 1a/1b, but I decided I wanted to wait until she was closer to 6 to use it since she isn't even technically in K yet. For the last few months we have been doing a combo of hands on math, MEP, and the earlybird book, but she is blowing through it. Last week I went ahead and ordered the essential math K a/b. I just got it today, and I'm really impressed. The books are super thick, and so much more like regular SM. I wish I had ordered them at the beginning of the year. :001_huh: Someone on here recommended them to me, but I wasn't sure if they were any good.

I tried to use EB with my oldest a couple of years ago and didn't like it at all. I decided to try EM with my middle guy and love it! He's almost done with EM B and looking forward to PM down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 We love SM Essential Math. :) I like it much better than EB and it's cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyP Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 :iagree: I really, really liked EM after being not impressed with EB. I'm surprised it is not more popular except that maybe others, like me until a year ago, don't even realize it exists. I felt like the Singapore site had been holding out on me. Somehow, after all the times I had been there, I had never seen it until I saw it recommended and looked for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
