I am a huge fan of Wild Math. I'm homeschooling twins (one very studious young lady and one very stubborn, easily distractable young man). I chose Wild Math because we are an outdoorsy family that loves dirt and hands-on fun. Its a perfect fit. However, I couldn't keep up with making daily/weekly plans and trying to schedule the months to get through the school year. I also need some help with how to actually teach & describe some of the topics. Because I work and have 2 younger children, I fell behind, I couldn't get into a rhythm with the planning. I found it easier to buy a whole different curriculum so I could hand out worksheets and get through the material. How sad, because my kids don't love math as much as I was hoping. The creator of Wild Math is currently creating weekly plans to add to her curriculum. I would give wild math another try if weekly plans are complete before the new school year starts.
