About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.

As a Christian songwriter and music producer, Jenny Phillips has released over 27 albums and has shared her love of music across the world, speaking at over 1,100 events in 23 countries and selling over a million CDs. In order to reduce the stress and time commitments that naturally come with a music label, and so she could focus more on her young family, Jenny left her music label in 2011. She now offers her music for free on www.hislightmusic.com.

When Jenny's children began going to school, she turned toward another one of her passions—education. Jenny began homeschooling in an effort to provide a faith-based, high-academic education focused on building noble character. Not wholly satisfied with any curriculum she could find and deeply concerned about the loss of good literature in our world, she founded The Good and the Beautiful.

Jenny lives in Utah with her husband and five children. In addition to music, motherhood, and good literature, Jenny loves family history, gardening, traveling, and exercising. She is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but she enjoys working with people of many faiths as she shares her multi-denominational curriculum, rejoicing in the common good that all Christians share.

I really struggled teaching kindergarten and 1st grade math. Now my child says her favorite subject is math! This book is so helpful. It really does present a topic in every possible way.
I also appreciate the free pages so we can do extra work with the topics causing the most confusion.
I didn't like that some of the manipulatives are sold separately and sometimes I don't realize I need a certain item for a lesson without a close read.

This math curriculum taught me that it can be a JOY to teach and learn math. My daughter completed this course in only a couple months (since we're relatively new to homeschooling, I wanted to make sure all the "gaps" were filled and do some review since moving and a baby caused a lot of disruption). The material is engaging, challenging, and beautiful.
