At the Primer level of Math-U-See, children become comfortable with the Math-U-See methodology, learn basic counting, and learn how to write numerals. They are also introduced to addition and subtraction, skip counting, geometric shapes, and telling time. The Math-U-See Primer Set without Integer Blocks includes the Primer Instruction Manual, the Primer Student Workbook, and a 1 year subscription card to the Individual Essential Plan which includes the online video lessons and other supplemental tools.
Please note: Digital access to the Math-U-See instructional videos is in transition. As of June 15th, 2026, the Digital Toolbox one-time, level specific online instruction with video is no longer available. The online component (available separately or in the curriculum packages) is now sold as the Individual Essential Plan Annual Access Card, which is redeemable for a one-year subscription to the Essential Plan. The Essential Plan includes 2 course credits (2 Math-U-See levels) as well as access to free resources for one year. Families may create 5 student accounts. With this new approach, families may activate one course and have flexibility for their child to move up to the next course if they finish early or to move back to a lower level for additional review as needed. Or if you have 2 students using Math-U-See, you may purchase one full package (with the Annual Access Card) for one student and then purchase the physical components (no Access Card) for the second student. If you have previously purchased a course with the Lifetime Access to the Digital Toolbox, it will continue to be available.
Optionally, the Math-U-See Primer DVD is available for families who prefer to use DVD instruction instead of online instructional videos.
