wow! im so happy im not the only one. this as been an incredibly stressful 6 weeks. my son previously did well with singapore in gr.6 and now in gr.7 when we moved into singaore's . discovering maths he is taking sooo long. he was great at math facts and now he has take few extra secs to remember them and he gets some wrong?not to mention all the careless mistakes he has been making. i dont have time for extra reinforcemnt as we would never at this rate be able to finish by the end of yr. i was considering switching to saxon. hmm mariss

my son is in gr.7 with no experience in classical writing . we focused all the last 6 years on narrative/poetry writing.(writing workshop model). he likes creative writing.he is not keen on the switchover so even in week 5 he requires me to do the lesson with him. he prefers it .I read the lesson aloud and then send him off to do assignment. i am there to work with him if he gets stuck or revise his narrations/outlines. is that ok?by week 13 do you think he will be able to do it independtly. also is it normal some lessons take over an hour? thanks mariss ps im so pleased with his expository writing . i hope this will help us with history/science writing which until now we havent focused on as i didnt know how to teach it.

i finished 6b with my non mathy son after having done all pm bks, We moved into dm1 which he is not liking and slogs thru even basic exercises . im not sure its level of difficulty, age, (hormones he 12,5 boy) or needs better explantions or maybe due long lessons.their is defintelty a lack of foucus and most of his work is careless mistakes. do you do dm with lial and how if so do u weave the two. i am only in chapter two and everyday is battle of wits to get him focus and not make careless mistakes and takes sooo loong to complete ex, pls if you can help with your experience thanks
