Math in Focus - Reteach vs. Extra Practice book?

[MeganW]

Has anybody seen both the Math in Focus Reteach book, as well as the Extra Practice book?  Reading the descriptions, they sound the same.  Can somebody explain the difference, and why you would choose one over the other?

We didn't use either of those with MiF. We had the main textbook/workbook and the enrichment workbook. Enrichment practiced the same concepts as the main books but was a bit more challenging.

 

On their main website they'll let you view inside every book if you fill out a form. ;)

When we first stated out, I bought MiF testbooks, workbooks, enrichment, extra practice, & reteach.

 

Enrichment is a bit more challenging, extra practice is just that, and reteach seems to be a gentler version for students having trouble. Those 3 have the answers in the back.

 

If I had it to do again, I wouldn't purchase EP or RT, for sure. I might not even purchase enrichment. I haven't bought it since 1st grade, and DD is in 5th. DS is using enrichment this year, so who knows?

 

ETA:

The reason DS is using enrichment this year is because we're doing 1A/1B again. We used it last year for K because he was above K material. He didn't quite master 1A & 1B the way I wanted. I pulled out our unused EP & RT books. EP seems to have more problems than RT, in addition to the problems appearing to be more challenging than RT. We're going with EP & Enrichment this year. I still don't think we'll use RT.

Oh! I meant to add that Rainbow Resource has a few sample pages if you went there.

 

Here's the link for the search for 1A/1B:
