abbeyej Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Where are you finding errors? In the TM? I think we've only noted a handful of errors in the books from k-6 -- but I'm not using the TM to check either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Where are you finding errors? In the TM? I think we've only noted a handful of errors in the books from k-6 -- but I'm not using the TM to check either... I use the TM from levels 4-6, and before that I just check it myself. But I only use the TM for the answer key. I find several errors each year, probably around 5, but that's pretty normal for a math curriculum. Whenever my kids get something wrong, I always check to make sure the answer key is right, LOL! I do occasionally find questions or exercises that I think are poorly worded, but overall we've been very happy with Horizons.

coffeefreak Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 :iagree:It drove me crazy, but that's because I NEED the TG to check my dd's work. They also had some weird typo's in the TG where it was obvious something went wrong at printing. It's less expensive than others so maybe that's why I put up with it for a while? We switched for other reasons, but the mistakes did bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacalm Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Where are you finding the errors? I remember one of my girls pointing out errors (about 2) in Horizons 5 Bk1? I went through the whole thing Horizons Math K-6 (combined all 3 older kids) and it's rare that I see a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jentancalann Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 thanks for the heads up. i've only used the 1st grade book so far but plan to stick with it for a while. i haven't noticed, but then i haven't used the tm either. i'll be sure to keep this in mind when i do start to use the tm.

KristenS Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 We never used the TG except when the question doesn't make sense, so I hadn't noticed any errors yet. :/ I will say, in Horizons 2 that we did this year, I was annoyed when they got 'less' and 'fewer' mixed up all the time in word problems. Drove me bonkers. LOL. I just crossed out the wrong words and wrote in the correct ones. If my kid were older we'd have had an impromptu English lesson out of it.

SilverMoon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I haven't used Horizon's math, but we have used other math that had several mistakes in it. Offering my ds a quarter for every mistake he could find in the book made his frustration disappear. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
