Question
Amber Williams –
How would Math with Confidence compare to a program like The Charlotte Mason Early Arithmetic Series?

Answer Desk –
Math with Confidence uses student workbooks, Early Arithmetic does not.
Both are scripted to differing extents; MWC provides more teacher guidance and context and includes visuals for the lessons.
MWC First Grade Instructor Book has 537 pages and the Workbook has 262 pages. EA Book 1 has 262 pages.
MWC First Grade Instructor Guide and Student Workbook together retail for $52 as of this writing (Jan 2023); EA Book 1 is $55 alone and $60 with the optional gridded notebook.
Lessons are of similar length, roughly 20 minutes.
MWC uses games as a teaching tool, and includes a list of math picture books for optional enrichment.
The author of MWC states that it is a middle-of-the-road program in terms of difficulty, that covers all typical topics for each grade. It covers some topics that EA does not, such as time, measurement, and graphs.
Both programs have samples online that include a table of contents and concepts covered, which can be very helpful for comparison.
