I am finding a lot of that information in CLE Social Studies Grade 3. If you are looking for secular, that would not work for you though. (We taking a year off of regular history this year and enjoying the "Social Studies.")

I am quite good at math, but I already know what you mean because it happened to me. In 9th grade, I switch to a rigorous private school and went straight into Algebra II and struggled because of gaps and lack of mastery from previous grades. But my son is solid (except for a couple of random asynchronous things that may never rectify and may talk longer for him to master.) I'm not talking about skipping anything...just going over certain things faster if he has them down and wonder if another program could be better for hat. Both my son and I are really into "box checking" and routine so not being tied to a program would be hard! Lol!

Thanks for the tips! I guess its normal, then for 2e/advanced...I'll just keep going how things are.

My 2e kid is just now starting CLE 5 in 3rd grade. (Turned 8 this summer.). I bought him a simple algebra book (By scholastic or Barron’s) from a used bookstore this weekend and he LOVED it. He is great conceptually in math even if he makes mistakes in calculations at times. He does get A’s on pretty much all of his tests and quizzes in math though. So from at the beginning of CLE 5 what is a good way to get him to algebra? Should I try to condense/skip/switch curriculums or just let him unschool algebra in his free time when he wants to? (He does want to get to algebra and asked me to condense if I can.) I have heard CLE can drag out arithmetic and just make it harder. We both like the structure of CLE because it is organized, routine oriented and lets him be independent. He is really a self learner. He is doing IEW level A this year and he is thriving with me just editing his paper 5 minutes a week and watching the videos. Maybe I should be doing more but he doesn’t need it and I have a toddler. I was looking at Jacob’s Alegbra today and it got me excited because I think he would really like it.
