angela&4boys Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My ds is 9, but tested into 3rd. Just wondering if we're lone rangers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My oldest two used CLE math last year and both placed one level below their grade. They placed one level below their grade for LA as well, but we never used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 my dd is 10 and in light unit 307 right now. I tested her in May and found she needed to start at level 3, and we did some math all summer. Now that school has started, she is regularly doing 5 lessons a week, and will be starting 400 by December. I am happy with CLE math. She still hates math, but she is learning and it is really rather painless because it is slow and gentle and repetitious....she just hates math, no matter what, but she does it without crying,etc. ;) Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) My 10 y/o son is about half a level below his grade. He is in 5th grade and finishing light unit 405 right now. We worked on Math over the summer too or he would likely be a whole year behind. Edited September 22, 2009 by Tree House Academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.love.lucy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My dd just turned 9 this summer and is in 4th grade. I pulled her from ps mid way through last year and put her in Singapore 2A. We breezed through that for the most part, but she didn't have regrouping so I had to slow down. I found that she had some gaps from ps compared to Singapore and it was not a good fit. Like the pp, she hates math - tears and complaining and gnashing of teeth, the whole bit - and S.pore just didn't have enough review for us. I have switched just this fall into CLE 300 and so far we really like it. The gaps are still there, but as I find them I can supplement some. I am hoping to be in 400 in early Spring with the goal to be in 500 by the time she starts 5th grade, but if she's not I'm okay with that too. I find CLE's scope and sequence to be about a grade level ahead of ps. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started last year with Singapore and he did 3A and 3B and started 4A before I decided to stop Singapore with him. As stated in the post above, the gaps from PS didn't jive with Singapore. We switched from Singapore 4A to CLE Math 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eksargent Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My ds is 10 (5th grade) and is in 403. I did want to speed him along and get him into the 500 level soon after the holidays, but I'm not stressing about that anymore. His learning is solid and he is moving along with a lesson a day. He really enjoys CLE. I may continue with lessons next summer. That will catch him up. More importantly it will keep him from slipping. Large summer breaks from math is not good for us.

sandalwood Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yes, we are using it one year behind (level 5 for a 6th grader). We planned to move quickly in to level 600 but now that I see how meaty their math is, we probably won't move to 600 as quickly as I thought. We love it.

Guest lahmeh Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 If you join the Yahoo Group for CLE you will see that there are MANY people that have to start their dc a grade or two below where they would be in other curriclums. Especially if they are coming from public school. Your definitely not alone! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessed2fosteradopt Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I just purchased CLE 6 to use with my 6th grader. We are more than halfway through Saxon 7/6 and there are concepts at the beginning of CLE 6 that have not been covered in 7/6 yet. I am going to use CLE 6 after finishing Saxon 7/6 as reinforcement but from what I can tell it seems that CLE is advanced as other posters have stated.

angela&4boys Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks so much, ladies. It gives me peace of mind. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtolgd Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I wanted to chime in here also...my oldest just turned 9 and is doing mostly 4th grade level. He just started book 303. I am hoping to start the 4th grade level in the spring, and be on track by 5th grade. We gave CLE a try in May and he started with 301. As a side note, DD is almost 7, doing mostly 2nd grade, and just started book 106. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
