Math-U-See Video Lessons, Grading & Support

Math-U-See is a mastery-based, multisensory math curriculum that uses manipulative blocks and video instruction. Students build math concepts with physical blocks before moving to pencil-and-paper work, making abstract concepts concrete and visual.

The Math-U-See curriculum itself spans Primer (kindergarten) through Calculus. Our video lessons cover Alpha through Algebra 1 — roughly 1st through 8th grade. Algebra 1 is rolling out now: the first 20 lessons are live, with more on the way.

They're available now! Math-U-See video lessons for Alpha through Pre-Algebra are included with every Math Pass — start a free 7-day trial to try them with your student. Algebra 1 is rolling out now — the first 20 lessons are live, with more on the way.

You'll need the Math-U-See student workbook, instruction manual, test booklet, and the manipulatives for your child's level: the Integer Block Kit for Alpha through Delta, the Fraction Overlay Kit for Epsilon, and the Integer Block Kit plus the Algebra/Decimal Insert Kit for Zeta and Pre-Algebra. These can be purchased from the Math-U-See website or authorized retailers.

Yes. The manipulatives are needed — they're central to how Math-U-See works. Your student should be building alongside Nicole during the lesson, not just watching, so concepts become concrete before moving to pencil-and-paper work.

Each Math-U-See level has about 30 lessons. In the video lessons, Nicole works through the exact problems used in the Instructor's Guide.

Your student solves each problem from the book, enters the answer, and it's checked instantly — with a chance to retry. The questions stay in your own materials, not on screen. The practice-set problems can be found in the student workbook, and the answers can be found in the teacher's guide or home instructor's manual.

Each video is 8-12 minutes — short enough to hold your student's attention while covering the full lesson.
