Marsha Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Is your 6th grader doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie in Oh Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Most who do a level a year would be in Zeta. Jumping in in the middle can be tricky, though they do have placement tests on their website. Delta covers division, Epsilon Fractions and Zeta decimals. My 4th grader will finish the year somewhere in the first half of Epsilon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmgconner Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My 6th grade DS is working in Epsilon right now, and may even start Zeta before the year is out. We jumped in last year using Delta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 ... which covers gr. 4,5,6 material. We started it with a 5th grade math struggler. We then went on with the new MUS levels -- but since he was still a little shaky in math, we backed up in the new MUS levels to give him more practice/confidence. Our MUS schedule looked like this: 5th gr. = MUS, all of old "Intermediate" 6th gr. = MUS, all of Delta (9 weeks); all of Epsilon (18 weeks); 1/3rd of Zeta (9 weeks) 7th gr. = MUS, backed up and did all of Zeta; supplemented with Singapore 8th gr. = MUS, doing all of Pre-Algebra; supplementing with Singapore and Keys To... series 9th gr. = he will do MUS Algebra, supplemented with Jacobs Algebra Perhaps consider starting with MUS old Intermediate as review for the first 9 weeks, and then go deeper into decimals and percents (the usual topics for grade 6 math) with Zeta?? Best of luck in placing you child! Warmly, Lori D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in GA Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 and I didn't want to rush him. It looks like we may finish early; if so, we'll begin Zeta right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 We've been with MUS since K. I have a degree in math. Ds picks it up quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat in MI Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My sixth grader is midway through Delta. Math is not his thing so we are taking it slower. I want him to have a good base in the basics. Blessings, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milseain Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We've been with MUS since 1st grade. My 6th grader is doing Zeta. If it was up to him he would be further. Math is his strong point but it is not mine. So to make sure he gets it, we take a little longer then he likes. But it's my way to make sure he is better in math then me. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
