Thank you Hive Mind Queen Bee, that sounds like a good approach. I may grab the first book for my youngest with the rods, test it out and see how we feel. My 2cnd and 9th graders are the ones that need more help, they are both very visual. I am interested in Gattegno also because the creator Caleb Gattegno seems like a brillliant man, speaking 40 languages and pioneering several programs the way that he did. I plan to read up more on him and learn more about his techniques, just because they are so interesting! Thanks so much for your input!

Thank you for your responses, I know the Gattegno math has 5 math text books, as well as Algebra and Geometery after textbook 5, I was assuming it went at least to grade 5 or 6. Maybe I need to look into Miquon. Thank you so much for your input :001_smile:

Hello, I am exploring Gattegno Math to introduce to all of my children, grades 2,4,7,9. I am looking for any guidance on using this system, pros & cons. Also, can I start them on it so late in the game for my 7 and 9th graders? We will be new to C-rods. Also, is it just an add on curriculum to use with a main curriculum, or is it stand alone. We are usuing Singapore now for 2&4 , Rodd & Staff for 7, and Math U See for 9th, wondered if Gattegno is anything like Math U See. Thank you for any advice. Thanks so much!
