We use RightStart Math in our homeschool. It teaches for understanding. It leads the kids through developing their own algorithm before it tells them the easiest algorithm to use. That way they aren’t memorizing a formula but they truly understand what they are doing even if they took the long way around the first time. They don’t put pencil to paper for a “worksheet” until they understand what they are doing.
