Big Fat Notebooks from Brain Quest (fun supplement)


Recommended Posts

These are definitely not full curricula but a fun supplement.  DS is excited to do them and that's more than I can say for the rest of his curricula!

 

We have US History https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Need-American-History-Notebook/dp/0761160833/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486347421&sr=8-1&keywords=Big+fat+notebook+Us+history

 

Math https://www.amazon.com/Everything-You-Need-Math-Notebook/dp/0761160965/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486347470&sr=8-1&keywords=Big+fat+notebook+math

 

 

 

They also have Science, World History & English which I'll probably get for next year.

 

I didn't see a thread about these, sorry if this is a repeat!

What do you plan to do with them? I bought the World History and Science and I agree that they're a nice little resource, but I'm not sure how to actually use them. TIA.

Well they are meant as study guides, but we don't really do tests so I'm using them as supplements. So for US History, we are using living books and primary sources. The big fat book kind of ties it all together.

 

The math book we are running through as a review before we start algebra.

I picked up the English Language one and the Spanish one.   Those are the two topics I feel like we've been light on this year and I wanted something simple and laid out.  I'm going to have the kids read a chapter, then answer the questions in a notebook.   The Science, I may dig up some videos or books on the topic or I may not. 

 

These aren't all we are doing.  We also cover Grammar as we're writing, and we cover quite a bit of Science loosely between 4-H and just interest.
