[Math Feedback...TT, MUS, Miquon]

I'd love to know more about these from a btdt standpoint. Thanks!

We love Math-U-See. It is mastery-based, not spiral. The facts are memorized and the blocks lay out concepts in a very visual manner. The worksheets are very tidy, in plain black and white with no colorful distractions and plenty of white space (important to my learners.) In the very early years, however, there's some colored pencil work which is fun. There are enough practice sheets per lesson that if need be, one could even re-use them for the same lesson, days later. We commonly do not use all of them. Review is good. The DVD lessons are fairly well done, have optional closed captioning. The music on the DVD menu is overloud, though. We've learned to hit mute while the disc is loading and unmute while the lesson is loading. :glare: The Test/Activity Book has several fun sheets, like "color by sum" and ridiculously silly word problems. HTH!

Welcome to the Hive!

 

I feel honored your first post was my rat thread. :D

Thanks! Been lurking for years, decided it was time. ;)

 

 

So are banana chips okay? They do have sugar.

Oh, sure! No cotton candy, peanut brittle, etc. - they don't make rattie toothbrushes.

As stated above, no chocolate or alcohol. Also nothing overly sweet, and go easy on the salty stuff. Meats are okay, but vegetarian ratties smell nicer. ;)
