The Simply Good and the Beautiful Math team knows homeschool parents need enjoyable open-and-go lessons that are just the right length, while also building a solid foundation of strong number sense and mathematical thinking. That is exactly what we have created with our Simply Good and Beautiful homeschool math curriculum. Watch the video below or keep reading to learn more!
Every level of math includes 120 lessons divided into units, followed by an assessment at the end of each unit. Throughout the entire math program, students slowly gain independence as lessons progress from being parent-led in Math K through 3 to student-led in Math 4 and above.
Lessons are simple, yet powerful, and connect math to nature, art, and real-world situations. They also exceed most national math standards!
Free Homeschool Math
One of the benefits of these math courses is the super-low pricing on the physical course sets, but we also offer all of the math courses as completely free downloads!
Why? We feel that homeschooling changes lives, and we want to help more parents start and stick with homeschooling. We believe that our Good and Beautiful curriculum makes homeschooling a more meaningful and less overwhelming experience.
Spiral Math
Simply Good and Beautiful Math takes a spiral approach to learning. In each lesson a student learns and practices a new concept and also reviews previous concepts. By spiraling back to previous lessons and lower-level courses in this way, students continue to review what they have learned and build upon previous knowledge.

Simply Good and Beautiful Math K–3
Our Levels K–3 parent-led math courses feature short, effective lessons using stories, games, fun activities, and a simple box with fun manipulatives for a hands-on, interactive approach to learning.
Simply Good and Beautiful Math 4–7
In Levels 4–6, students begin each lesson by watching a video, which includes interactive guided practice completed in the course book. Each video features an engaging theme to make the content relatable to the student.
The lesson also includes a concise, written mini lesson. Students can refer to the mini lesson for help during the lesson practice. Or they can choose to skip the video completely and use just the mini lesson if they already understand that day’s concept. Sometimes parents choose to teach their children using only the mini lesson.
After the lesson, students complete Lesson Practice and Review pages. Parents then check their child’s work with the answer key included in the course set. We have incorporated reviews, games, logic activities, and puzzles throughout the course, and students will find assessments at the end of each unit.
A Happy Homeschool Mom…
We know it can be difficult to decide whether or not a curriculum will work for your family. Perhaps this comment we received from a homeschool mom with almost two decades of homeschool experience will help:
“My youngest two girls (6 and 9) have done Simply Good and Beautiful Math since Math K. Their foundation is so solid, and their minds are being trained to think mathematically in so many ways. The lessons allow for short, high-quality focus on the math concepts and keep it fun and engaging before their attention span runs out, making math a positive experience each day.
This program is filling a void that has existed in the homeschool world for a long time: parent friendly! No separate teacher manual, easy open-and-go, rigorous but hands-on and fun too. I feel like my kids are going to be much more prepared for high school and college this time around.”

My second grader loves math now. Thanks

Will Math 7 be available for the fall?
Hi Jen! Thank you for your interest in our math program.
We anticipate Math 7 will be released in early 2024. More information about our math program can be found on our website.
Trying to choose a math curriculum for Math 7. We are nearly completed with Math 6. Please give some advice all ft you who love “The Good and the Beautiful.”
Thank you for your interest in our math program. We anticipate Math 7 will be released in early 2024. Math 8 will be released in the coming years. More information about our math program can be found on our website.
Due to the complexity and more advanced nature of our Math 7 course, it takes longer to develop. Each course is written, piloted, reviewed, and edited by mathematicians and math educators. These processes take time and can’t be rushed. We are dedicated to releasing the same quality course for Math 7 as our earlier courses.
Once your child successfully completes the Math 6 course, they will be prepared to transition to a pre-algebra course.
when math 6 was released last summer, it was so exciting and we were informed that math 7 and 8 would be released the following summers (2023 for math 7 & 2024 for math 8). I haven’t heard any updates regarding those predictions and could find anything on the website, is this no longer the case?
Hi Amber! Thank you for your interest in Simply Good and Beautiful Math. We anticipate Math 7 will be released in early 2024 with Math 8 to follow in the coming years. More information about our math program can be found on our website. Our website has indicated that Math 7 and 8 would be released in the coming years without a specific date. We are happy to share that we now anticipate Math 7 will be coming in early 2024.
