What Reviewers Say

Reviewers consistently praise All About Math for its multisensory, conceptual approach to building a strong mathematical foundation. Cathy Duffy Reviews commends the program for using scripted lessons and manipulatives to empower parents regardless of their teaching background. Teacher Tutor Mom notes that the curriculum successfully applies the hands-on philosophy of All About Reading to mathematics, offering a balance of colorful activities and written practice. According to Rainbow Resource Center, the mastery-oriented structure helps students develop number sense by verbalizing their thinking. Meaghan Ashworth highlights the developmental appropriateness of the program, citing manageable lesson lengths and minimal writing. Well-Trained Mind Forums recommends the clear structure for students with learning challenges. However, Home and on the Way cautions that the curriculum is unsuitable for independent study because it is extremely parent-intensive and requires significant adult involvement.

How It Works

Each week, the student joins a small group of peers for a live, 60 to 90-minute online session led by a professional instructor who focuses on conceptual problem-solving rather than just formulas. Following the live session, the parent oversees three to five days of independent homework designed to reinforce the specific logic and arithmetic strategies covered in class. The parent's role is primarily that of a facilitator, ensuring the child attends the fixed-time classes and stays on top of the rigorous weekly assignments. Most levels utilize a physical workbook or printable problem sets alongside a digital classroom platform for the live instruction. This structure moves the teaching burden off the parent while requiring the child to adapt to a collegiate-style schedule of lecture and independent study.

Switching to This?

Because this program is often a full grade level ahead of standard curricula, families should utilize the publisher’s mandatory diagnostic assessment to ensure proper placement. A common community rule of thumb is to be prepared for your child to place 'lower' than their current public school grade level due to the program's emphasis on deep conceptual mastery. While the publisher occasionally allows mid-year enrollment if a student passes the diagnostic for an active cohort, most families find it best to start at the beginning of the academic year or during a summer bridge session. If switching from a traditional program like Saxon or public school math, expect a transition period of several weeks where the student must learn to explain the 'why' behind their answers rather than just performing quick calculations. There are currently no universal standardized tests that align perfectly with their unique sequence, so the internal placement test is the most reliable tool.

How This Compares

When compared to Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) Academy, All About Math is often seen as more aligned with traditional school-track acceleration, whereas AoPS leans more heavily into creative, 'contest-style' math that can feel more abstract. Compared to Derek Owens, which offers self-paced video lessons, All About Math requires students to attend live classes at fixed times, providing much more social interaction and external accountability but offering less flexibility for a busy homeschool schedule. Families choosing between All About Math and Math with Confidence often find that while Math with Confidence is a parent-led program designed for 1-on-1 instruction at home, All About Math is a professional-led service that removes the teaching responsibility from the parent entirely.
