  • ​I am so pleased with your product that this is the first time I have ever left feedback for anyone on the site. I appreciate that your product does not imply any one system of math instruction, allows for/encourages multiple approaches, is challenging but accessible for second graders, includes some theme/time of year connections, doesn't include any characters nor scenarios from main stream media, includes enough instructions to be self-sufficient and more.
