JadeOrchidSong Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Do you use it as stand alone or as supplement to Singapore or any other math program? I am just curiously. Since it is free to download and looks very neat, I am interested in trying some. My ds is using Singapore 2B right now. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thowell Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 we use this as our main curriculum. It is a full curriculum if used completely with TM. I also use free extra worksheets for extra review. I do print all student workbook and TM for each student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I print it. I wouldn't bother trying to buy it unless you're in the UK, or maybe some other EU country. Shipping is too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I print it. We use it as an adjunct to Singapore. I don't do all the lesson plan activities, but pick and choose my favorites. I only wish I had more time. MEP is brilliant! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepymommy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I've printed out the first 30 lessons, worksheets, their copymasters and posters so far. Once we finish, I'll then print out the next 30. I'm using it along side Rightstart and CTC's Mathematical Reasoning 1. I do think it's a great program so far. I'm only using so many diff. maths right now to try and get an idea for what's going to work best for ds1 and I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dd tends to think outside the box and MEP has encouraged and enabled her to do so, all while learning about patterns and numbers. Oh - I had it printed and bound at Staples.

Sweetpeach Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Print it out. I might go the Staples route next year for the TM. I wouldn't bind the workbooks; I 3 hole punch and use a fat binder. We use graph paper as our student note book and then insert along with the workbook page. Sometimes, I do a little extra teaching on a certain topic so those papers get inserted as well. MEP is a hit with all three Peachlets . . . my 6 year old loves playing with the rods, thinking like a "big girl" due to the early introduction of greater than/less than signs. Both boys (mid year 4 and just starting year 3) absolutely love MEP. There is no groaning or moaning when it comes to math. We don't do any other math; MEP is it for us. I print out everything and use the TM daily. If you get stuck, there's a great yahoo MEP group.
