nukeswife Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I have 1 copy of each CWP (1-6) but I have 3 kids. My oldest won't need level 1 or 2 but I would still need to use those with 2 kids and then levels 3-6 with 3 kids. How are you all that are in the same boat as me doing it? Are you having them copy the problems onto paper? Are you copying them onto the board and having them work them there? Are you putting them in sheet protectors? I'd love to hear how everyones handling this. I looked at the Frank Schaffer ones (70 word problems...) and I'm not impressed. Thanks in advance.

Snickerdoodle Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I just have them do it on another sheet of paper. I don't make them copy the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm having my 9 yos work the problems in a composition notebook. For each day's CWP work, they label the notebook page with today's date, the CWP page number, the problem number. They do not have to copy the problem, just show all the work for the problem. Then they circle their answer. We only do 1 to 3 CWP problems a day & we correct them together that day. yvonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 We work the challenging ones on dry erase boards. We read the problem out loud, and each work on our own board. This works well because we tend to erase a lot. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 These are all great ideas. Keep them coming, I always like to have a main plan with many contingency plans since my kids are all so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I just have them do it on another sheet of paper. I don't make them copy the problem. :iagree: This is what we do also. One thing I have had to start doing is putting a pencil mark next to the ones we have done. We were surprised a couple of time already to start doing one only to realize later that we had already done that one - we skip around among the sections so that we mix the material instead of working straight through.

Blossom'sGirl Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I buy the spiral bound grid paper notebooks from Staples (when they're on sale of course) and have them work the problems in them. I have them write the page # at the top and the problem # as they work through. The grid paper seems to help them but I don't insist they write each number per small square.

TrixieB Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My older child works the problems in a spiral notebook (the kind that were on sale everywhere for 10 cents last month) so I can re-use the same CWP book with my younger child in a couple of years. I put a post-it flag at the top of the CWP page that's currently being worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well, they are going out of print. I'm not going to pull eyelash hairs to try to find copies for everyone. I'm happy just to have the set I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seewah Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My kids work the problems out on looseleaf notebook paper. They label the paper CWP __ (fill in the blank with the book number). Date goes in the left margin. They number each problem, show their work and then put a box around the answer. The looseleaf paper then goes in their main school binder behind the "CWP" tab. We also put a little sticky tab at the top of the page where they are working. I am seriously addicted to those sticky tabs and use them in EVERY book we use/read. How have I been homeschooling for 6 years and just started using them this year?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 OOOH yet another place I can use sticky tabs. I love those things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 I bought enough copies of CWP so that each child would have a workbook to use. It never crossed my mind to only buy one set and use it as non consumable as it is a consumable product. The inside cover says that no part may be reproduced, isn't there a fine line with using this as a non consumable product with all of your children? Does the copyright change when a program such as this goes out of print? Do you plan to have the youngest write in it? Am I misunderstanding this thread? Trust me if I could find additional copies I'd get them, but so far I've only been able to find 1 copy of CWP 5 to purchase. That still leaves me needing 2 copies of CWP 3,4, and 6 and 1 copy of CWP 1,2, and 5, which is pretty unlikely. I was reading on the singapore forums that they are working on something for the new standards addition that would be like IP and have word problems like CWP. If they do then I'll just get those, but for now I need to figure something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the copyright does not expire early when a publication goes out of print. The issue of reusing consummable workbooks has been discussed before on this forum: link. SWB contributed to that thread and gave her understanding of the issue. She has confirmed that as long as no part of a workbook is mechanically copied (ie. by a Xerox machine, scanner, etc.), it does not violate copyright to work on a separate piece of paper or use sheet protectors over the page.
