CanadianAlison+3boys Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 For those who use or have used CSMP my son will be six next month, he would be in K in the public board but easily zipping through addition and early subtraction in MM. I'm looking to go deeper using CSMP but I'm not sure what is covered in K and whether it would be appropriate to go to grade one or start at K. Any insight?

Rosie_0801 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I haven't looked at grade 1 yet, but I can certainly say you'd zip through K level pretty quickly, skipping a lot. There'd still be some worthwhile stuff in there though, i would think. You could ask on the Yahoo group. No one ever talks on there, probably everyone is busy teaching their kids maths or something, but I expect you'd get an answer: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CSMPMath/info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slojo Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I don't know MM, but we use CSMP. I'd say a 6 year old K'er that was zipping through addition and early subtraction could start at CSMP 1st grade. The K curriculum is great - and quite frankly a lot of fun and hits at concepts in a lot of different and creative ways, but if conceptually he's ready for more, just go to first. I love that the methods are developmentally where kids in K/1st are, but introduce concepts early and often. I love CSMP - I really credit it for my children not being afraid of big numbers or using basic concepts to solve unconventional problems (in 1st and 3rd grade, but I skipped them to the 2nd and 4th grade curricula this year). They are really "open" thinkers in mathematics. Yay for another CSMPer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
