Which level of RS should we start-any who switched?

[walkermamaof4]

My dd is finishing up 3rd grade BJU math. We've previously used 1st thru 3rd R&S, but when we got to multiplication and division she really struggled. I switched her to MUS and had her start at the beginning and work up just to help her get the concepts. It just didn't do it for her. So this year we used BJU Dvd's. She still isn't really getting it.

 

I just read the new WTM and realize I really shouldn't have pushed her to finish, but should have taken the time to teach her the concepts carefully I think.

 

I am using RS A for my sons and thought I could try her in RS. But, if she doesn't understand multiplication, division, and carrying in multiplication, then where would you suggest starting her? (She does know her addition/sub facts very well.)

 

Thanks!

Have you looked at their website? They have good samples and they include a contents page which shows all of the concepts taught in that level. I am just checking it out now actually.

I personally would suggest D. I think there is enough review in the beginning to get you where you need to go. D really helps the student understand what they are doing in regards to mult and div. We have enjoyed this level.

 

HTH:)

Glad to help. Hope you enjoy RS as much as we do. We love the games;). PM me if you happen to have any questions. We can talk RS:D
