I LOVE the living math -- I have used the reader suggestions, the game ideas and several of the learning ideas.

We have really enjoyed them

but we do not use the lesson plans. I didn't know they came up with them and may look into that

I have been using that site for . . . about 6 years. I started when my dd1 was in kindergarten and wanted to do "math" (in quotes because we are delight driven). The articles are FABULOUS as well and so encouraging plus they offer great info about how to keep math practical and use literature to reinforce concepts. Our library has a TON of these books and we also have asked librarians to keep an eye out for more concept books. We have a good relationship with our 2 libraries that we go to

This is a great place to start on the site.

I did print the sample lesson plans for primary and see what I think. A part of me thinks that it's not necessary. The reader lists and game lists as well as using "games for math" by Peggy Katz is what we have done. IN fact, having said that, I need to pull out games for Math. Our dd1 has been begging for math

We start teaching textbooks at grade 4 and don't do anything but fun "living math" up until then

I usually add in some fun math read alouds but haven't done that in awhile

One of the reasons I suggested this is because it's a SUPER easy and super fun way for kids to do math and to also realize how important it is
