Talk to me about Beast Math

Beast Academy is a curriculum for Gr. 2 - 5 currently being developed and published by the same folks who create AoPS. It uses a graphic format for the text, introduces concepts in a thought-provoking way, and includes mind-stretching problems. There are 4 sections per grade: A, B, C, D. Each section has a guide (graphic text) and practice book (consumable student workbook).

 

They plan to complete Gr. 3, then 4, then 5, then go back and do Gr. 2. In a couple of weeks we should be able to purchase 3D, making the third grade complete; other sections will be released every 5 months or so. (So all 4 sections of Gr. 4 should be finished around October 2014.)

We use Singapore and what dd calls m&m math--basically use mini m&ms as manipulatives. I think we would be ready for beast math after we work through sm 3. I wish they has two out now :( since I think that's be perfect for dd. she could do about 1/3 of the placement/assessment for 3a with beast math but I'd prefer us to have some more basics under our belt.
