JessMcG Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've got both programs. I really want to do Singapore with dd6. But this is my eldest and so my first time teaching math. So I want something a little more scripted, even more than Singapore's HIG's. How do you go about combining the programs? I'm sure everyone does it a little different. I would love to hear how.

JessMcG Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Also, I did a search for previous threads on this topic and I was surprised not to find much. I would appreciate any links I may have missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phathui5 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 We use CLE and Singapore together for ds#1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyTN Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm going to do the same thing with ds6, eventually. Right now I'm using R&S Math 1 to get the ball rolling. When he's finished with workbook 1 I plan to start Singapore 1A. Not sure exactly how yet, though. I've heard (or read) that when most people combine they might do one program one week and the other program the next. Like I said, I'm not exactly sure how I'll do it yet, but just wanted to let you know we're in the same boat. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daybreaking Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I originally started with Saxon, with Singapore as a supplement. Last school year, we went to R&S, starting with the 1st grade book. At first, I continued to try to supplement with all of Singapore, but found 1) it was too much and 2) it was unnecessary, as R&S is so thorough. What I finally came up with that seems to work is to do R&S (along with some parts of Saxon) during the school year and Singapore IP & CWP during the summer, as enrichment.

Sandy in Indy Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I've done R&S grades 1 and 2 and plan to go to Singapore 1B/2A before doing R&S 3. I know some families do R&S three days a week and Singapore two days a week. (Too confusing for my ds!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessMcG Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Does anyone teach from Singapore and then use Rod & Staff as a supplement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in the Country Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Does anyone teach from Singapore and then use Rod & Staff as a supplement? Our main math program is Singapore but I have used R&S materials to supplement. I have the Blackline masters for R&S 1 and 2. I have copied some of these worksheets off as extra practice and drill. My ds likes dot-to-dots so I've printed off some of those and I like the Blossom and Bees worksheets for learning/practicing math facts. I also have R&S 5 which I have used for extra practice with dd. I like to cherry pick assignments if I think more drill is needed. On the whole though, I use very little of R&S. I bought it because it was cheap and I am a bit of a curriculum addict :blushing:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
