I'm in OK. Please tell me more about this program.
Here is a link to their website: http://www.thebooksamaritan.com/

My son preferred the presentation of Singapore, preferred having less problems on a page (we do all the SM workbook problems now, but skipped at least 1/2 the MM problems), and he doesn't need the incremental teaching that MM had. He gets math easily. So we did through the long division part of MM4B, then switched over to SM 4A (losing a semester, but he's accelerated, so that's ok). We'll do through SM 5B, then do some type of prealgebra (AoPS or other - I have several things here to play with). We're also doing Life of Fred Fractions (almost done) and will do Decimals and Percents next.
Thank you for taking the time to share this. It's very helpful, as I'm sorting through where to go next with math and when.

Yes, absolutely. It is strong in conceptual teaching while also giving tons of fact practice, teaching the basics (standard algorithm, etc.) and mental math.
(we used MM 1A-4B when we started homeschooling)
Boscopup, would you mind sharing why you switched from Math Mammoth to Singapore after MM 4B? My son used MM 4A & B and is currently using MM 5A, but I'm trying to decide if I want to continue MM to the end (6A & B).
Loving this discussion, BTW! Learning so much. Thanks!

I've been looking at this too. Our library, which is GREAT, doesn't have it, so I'm trying to decide about buying it. No Netflix at our house either, so buying is the only option. Our DCs are young, but loooove American history. Go figure.
I'll be watching for more replies!
If you're hesitant about buying the entire DVD set, you might consider buying one episode (~ 44 minutes) via Amazon Instant Video for about two bucks. You can watch that on your computer, or stream via Roku to your TV, etc., and see if you like it. Interestingly, I noticed the DVD set price has gone up slightly just since this morning.

Mostly just bumping for you. The original link wasn't working, but hopefully this one will:

This series is available on DVD from Netflix, in case you're a subscriber. At one time it was available through Netflix Streaming, but doesn't seem to be offered that way currently. My DS10 and I enjoyed watching it together. Hopefully others will chime in for you.

Paralyzed by perfectionism
in Accelerated Learner Board
Posted · Edited by Kay_ks
:iagree: The above method works best here too - finding activities that DS can struggle with and things in which there isn't always one "right" answer, i.e., drawing.
Also, pointing out mistakes that I make in his presence, reinforcing that EVERYONE is imperfect.
Finally, we got a lot of good ideas out of a book entitled "What to Do When Good Enough Isn't Good Enough - The Real Deal on Perfectionism", by Greenspon. It's aimed at kids (although we read through it together) and it was very eye-opening for my DS.
HTH!
