[Need help finding a thorough but more independent curriculum]

I have homeschooled my 11ds,10dd and 3ds for 6yrs. We have followed an eclectic method.

We read classics and use Robinson curriculum as a core for this.

We use TWTM ideas for history, science, grammar etc.

We used r&s grammar for a few years but changed to schoolaid climbimg to good english.

For math we use singapore and they are in 6b and 5a respectively. My oldest is doing well and would finish singapore this week.My dd seems to be struggling. It does not seem to stick, she needs alot of help and spends over 2 hours on a math lesson most days.

Youngest is not doing formal school yet.

My son also takes a coop writing class and they are taking a beginner chemistry course once a week. dd takes spanish class.

I would be returning to work in July , we would have someone with them when we are not there. My dh would have more flexible hours.

I need help with finding curricullum they can do independently but is rigorous. We would still do school 3 days or so and evenings with my dh or I.

We would do science,history ,bible and read alouds together.

Do you think I should change my dd from singapore?

Has any one used CLE units ?

Thanks

[Math Questioon Again!]

We've used Singapore, practical Arithmetic and Ray's arithmetic and I consider them to be Mastery because they stay with the topic the whole chapter so the child achieves mastery of the topic before moving on to another topic.

[Can you recommend a good dictionary for my 10yo?]

We use the American heritage dictionary and the children love the computer cd since they can hear and see the words.

[Math Shark vs Flashmaster]

I have both and mich prefer the flashmaster. It is better at both systematic and random drill. you can put in your own problems and you can review past work the child has done. The math shark does not have these features. Also my children figured out how to trick the math shark. Math shark has the advantage of having other drill like fractions and percentages.

We just started using hwt and this would be very useful.
