Guest homeschoolingmom3 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Soooo....testing confirmed my hunches. I need a change in my math curriculum for my 5th and 6th graders. My 5th grader really struggles in particular and can't continually move between different concepts easily. Tried Teaching Textbooks for my (now) 6th grader and that was way too weak. What do you guys like/have found to be good? Need good solid building block approach. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Saxon---maybe. It reviews and spirals so that may help. And so far from what I can tell it has a "good building block" feel about it. I think there are placement evals on their webpage so you can decide whether to put them in 4/5 or 5/6.

Chrysalis Academy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm really, really happy with Math Mammoth; I started it with my 4th grader last year when I brought her home from ps. Very conceptual, very incremental, very strong program, user friendly and inexpensive. There are placement tests and tons of free samples on the website, so you can try it out thoroughly before you commit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
