Math·U·See Used Materials Guide

Although Math·U·See does not sell used materials, there are many internet sites that do. Math·U·See cannot guarantee the reliability of used materials, but we do encourage the use of used books and manipulatives.

We have created this buyers and sellers guide, to provide you with valuable information to make the process run more smoothly and allow you to get the best deal possible.

Buyers Guide

Things to look for…

• Check to make sure that a teacher/parent book pack contains both the manual and the DVD or VHS. (We do not sell them separately, so make sure you are getting the complete pack.)
• Check to make sure the student pack contains both the student manual and the test booklet. (We do not sell them separately so make sure you are getting the complete kit.)
• When buying a manipulative block set make sure you are getting all the pieces. Click here to see what should be included in the set.
• When purchasing the skip count book and CD, ask which version it is.  We have released several versions, the current version featuring a childrens choir singing the songs. Make sure you are getting the one you want.
• On popular auction sites, Math·U·See materials have been known to sell for more than the price of new materials.  Check here to see if you are paying more for used materials than you would for new.
• Be sure to ask the seller if they have marked the books in any way.
• Math·U·See did a complete revision the student and teacher books in 2004. The scope and sequence were changed to make it easier to learn the concepts. Extra practice sheets were added, along with many other changes to make the books better and more up-to-date. The older books have the names Introduction, Foundation, Adanced etc., while the new updated books go by Greek letters: Alpha Beta, Gamma etc. Make sure you know which edition you are purchasing. If you have any questions about the new materials versus the older materials, give us a call at 1-888-545-MATH (6284).
