DanaG: Do you have a favorite Math Curriculum? My oldest is in 6th grade and we've been using Math U See since the end of 1st grade. We really like it. In first grade we tried Saxon, Singapore, and then switched to MUS. The spiral approach drove me crazy as a teacher (Especially when needing lots of different manipulatives at the young levels.)
My goal is to have my daughter take part in the running start program in WA state that allows her to take college classes her junior and senior years. Those classes count as both her high school credits and can also earn her an AA degree at the same time. I want her prepared to begin college her junior year and I've heard that Math U See Algebra (and up) are not as complete as other programs. I've been considering switching her out of MUS next year when she begins PreAlgebra in hopes of finding a program to get her ready for college by her junior year. I was considering Saxon and Shormann's Dive because they combine geometry. After reading reviews I'm second guessing this. We also take some BJU classes and I was thinking about BJU math as well. Maybe I should stick with MUS since it's been working for us? Math is one of my favorite subjects and my daughter does well in it. I'm fairly confident in our abilities to tackle most programs... I think 🙂
What did you decide on? My son is finishing Zeta this week and has also used MUS all the way through from Primer. I don’t know if I should keep him in it or go to something else. I was considering Shormann which is what led me to this thread. I am definitely rethinking that now.
