jjcmehl Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 We just switched from Miquon to Singapore Math. We have US 3a & 3b Textbook with workbooks, and 3 challenging word problems....how is the best way to schedule this over a 36 4/day a week period? (Roughly...anyway since we can always adjust according to my DD needs.) Any advice would greatly be appreciated!

Shelly in the Country Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The Home Instructor's Guides have a weekly schedule of suggested assignments in the front of the books. 17 weeks of assignments for 3A and 17 for 3B. They do not schedule CWP in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in MN Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Basically, you do the textbook until you come to a little arrow, and then you do the workbook. Then you stop for the day. If you add supplementary books, you can decide whether to add them to your day, or whether to do them on days when you don't do the text/workbook.

Moni Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 By time, not page numbers. Set the timer for :20 or :40 or :50 minutes or whatever you wish, for one or more sessions daily. Anyway, set the timer. Work until it beeps Mark your page with a Stickie, and put it away until tomorrow. :seeya: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Gate Academy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I posted our schedule for Singapore 3A and 3B US edition on my blog the other week. If you mark off the lessons I have scheduled for the Intensive Practice books then you would probably be close to 36 4 day weeks. Schedule There's also a link to download my Excel file in the riight hand column. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedearly Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Howdy, At first I set the timer so as not to over work DD. Then as she matured, I still kept 30 min max, then added a concept at a time unless she needed more review right then. So I would add in IP or CWP. If she didn't, I would save some of this review work for Fri. I like Fridays being testing day. It sums up the material every 4 days, it allows for assessments becoming normative, and it makes for an easy Fri. Afterwards, we would meet an older DD at Starbucks for coffee. DD then would bring her puzzle books- Suduko, Critical Thinking, Workbooks from recent trips, etc, and she woudl sip her lemonade while I chatted with oldest DD. With the twins home nest year, I will need to rethink this habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcmehl Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks for all the ideas...I think I will see how it goes with using a timer set for 30 min./day (Mon.-Thurs.) I will add the CWP after a lesson in the textbook and workbook are complete. Christine respectful wife to DH mom to 4 AP kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
