Math-U-See Primer Every math journey starts somewhere. Math-U-See Primer introduces young learners to foundational math concepts through hands-on activities, visual instruction, and plenty of opportunities to build understanding before moving on. In Primer, your child will learn to recognize, write, and count numbers; identify number names; add and subtract with manipulatives; recognize common shapes; tell time to the hour and half hour; measure using informal units; and explore early fraction concepts such as halves and fourths. Like all Math-U-See levels, Primer follows a mastery-based approach that focuses on understanding one concept at a time. Using the included Integer Blocks and clear video instructions, children see and touch mathematical ideas before working with them on paper. This concrete-to-abstract progression helps young learners develop confidence and a strong foundation for future math study. Instructional videos and teacher resources are accessed through Math-U-See's Essential Plan. Each subscription includes 2 course credits, supports up to 5 student seats, and provides access to activated levels for one year. See the note below for important subscription details. Designed for beginning math students, Primer provides a gentle introduction to numbers, operations, shapes, measurement, and time while helping children develop the skills they need for success in later levels. (Need help picking a level? We’ve got placement tests ready for you.)
