I was recently at a local Plain bookstore where they sell lots of homeschool books. I found an orange, soft-covered book by Upton for each grade. It also had an identical book to go with it with all the answers written in! They were under 5 dollars each. The only reason I have not purchased it yet, is because there is little to no instruction. The Strayer Upton Practical Arithmetic books have, I think, a concise explanation of new topics throughout the book. I plan to go back to the store with my Strayer Upton book, and compare the table of contents in the S/U book, with the Upton workbook and see if one couldn't use the S/U textbook in tandem with this orange book. If that does not work out, I plan to print the free PDF of the Hamilton's Arithmetic books and have them spiral bound at my UPS store. I am weary of making copies of the Strayer Upton pages, and my children struggle with the small cramped spaces on such a little page. The Hamilton book looks as though the same person wrote it as the S/U books. We can always use S/U to further explanation if something isn't preferred. PS I cannot find these Upton books on line anywhere. If anyone would like, I can follow up on this post with what I find out.

Yes I have the hardcover books from Rainbow Resource. We have been using them all year and really like them. I am weary of making copies and the pages are so small my kids have issues with writing small enough. Nobody is interested in copying onto a separate paper; That just adds time and labor. I have decided to go ahead and use the Hamilton books that was posted in this thread. They look almost the identical to Stayer Upton.

Hello. Does anyone know if the Strayer Upton series is available to print or buy in a larger, consumable format? We like this series, but making copies is getting wearisome, and there is very little space for my children to work because the pages are so small. Thanks.
