Dd used OM 4 math, a few years ago, and loved it. The book contains 36 weekly lessons. The explanations of the lessons are clear and easy to follow. Also, each lesson has just enough practice problems. We've used other math programs and the lessons contained too many practice problems. The math book also has math games for the kids play to better understand some of the concepts, dd enjoyed playing. It's a complete math program, and I highly recommend it. Asmaa

Nance, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending cyber hugs to you!! :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Asmaa

No, I haven't. We had add things just because they were fun, and not because I felt OM lacking in anyway. Asmaa

Hi, The most current edition of 2nd grade is 2010. I believe the most current for K is 2005, but I could be wrong. I would call OM and ask them. I'm using OM 2 this year, and we are enjoying ourselves. Yes, those books will work for K. OM K, over the years, hasn't change much other than color pictures. Hope this helps. Asmaa

I also bought a globe from Target this week. It was located in their back-to-school section. I also picked up a wall map of the world for $5. Asmaa

Thanks for posting this. I added it to my wish list. My kids and I have enjoyed watching Magic School Bus on and off for the past 12 years. We're very sad when PBS stopped airing them. Now I get the chance to share them with my youngest. Asmaa

I have the answer key and can e-mail the answer for Test and Review 11 if you like. Please pm me if you want them. Asmaa

For OM 5 we used lined paper and a binder. For drawing we used computer paper holed and place in the binder. My OM 5 had a copyright date from 2008, and in lesson 31 one of the projects is to make a timeline of the major events studied this year. There are three types of timelines for you to choose from. Dd really enjoy this project and it was great for review. We loved OM 5! Hope this helps. Asmaa
