We used Horizons for my son's Kindgergarten year. We had started out with MCP which was so boring and monotonous my son was in tears. He also was not learning well with the mastery type learning. He was getting low C's on his tests, and I thought maybe we had a memory problem on our hands.
I hesitated to switch to Horizons K as it looked much more difficult. But it turns out he needed the fast paced spiral learning.
It was the right move. My son flew through the lessons and has loved math ever since. He loved the occasional puzzles, dot to dots, drawings and other interesting exercises. My son really liked the colorful pages and I loved how easy it was to teach. I pretty much just introduced the new concept and worked the top half of each page with my son and let him do the bottom on his own. I also taught skip counting separately.
I can't wait to start my daughter in Horizons K and moved on to Horizons 2 for my son.
