Anyone.. please advice, which "Key to series books" should I be buying.. there seems to be multiple versions on net..:confused: Graet if you can post a link...

Hello again, I looked for Key to series on amazon and christian book store, and they seem to be different books. On Amazon its something with greek people on cover page, while on Christian book store, its in orange cover.. Which one should I be looking for?? or are they same?

:iagree:EM teaches STRANGE methods of doing things, and then kids insists that if they are doing one way in class, they need to folow it.. I think thats where they are left behind, Curriculams in PS are not well thought.. why?? even when we are in best school district and paying a lot for just sending our kids in these PS.. it really is annoying...

Thanks Moms!!! :001_smile: You all have encouraged me and given wondeful thoughts. PS is using Everyday math , which sounds confusing for him. I was under the impression, that he will get his concepts clear at school, and by providing worksheets to him for practice would work, but either he is sleeping in class:glare:, or doesnt has a good math teacher.. He is good learner otherwise, but I dont know how he got left behind in this topic I will look through all aforesaid resources and see what fits best.

My DS (9) is struggling with fractions and decimal concepts, and he is ps, do you think I should take up these topics in my hand and what would be your recommendations for books to consider for these topics.. I heard someone saying "Key to series" are great.. Any first hand experiences??

How can I teach with number Line...not sure about this one. I wil also look into MM blue series for fractions.. Thanks for your help!

Any further help???:001_huh:

I need help to teach fractions to my 4th grader, arranging them smallest to largest, when all denominators are different. I thought of Least common factor, but he doesnt know how to find that yet, converting to decimals will take forever if there are 5-7 fractions to be compared. Example is: 3/12, 4/10, 2/17, 3/ 19, 3/5, 1/11 Please advice.
