This book is meant to be easy to

To put it simply, we don’t do grade levels; they are man-made, artificial, and vary from curriculum to curriculum. We believe in skill levels instead. When a
child has mastered one thing, he is ready to move to the next thing. This goes for all people, not just children. When was the last time someone asked you what grade level cookbook you use, or at what grade level do you keep your checkbook? Better yet, are you “behind” in housekeeping skills? See how silly that sounds? We don’t do this to each other as adults; why should we do it to our children? This math series follows skill level. Therefore, you will not find any inference to grades.
