Quiver0f10 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 My youngest will be in K next year and I am not sure what to use for math. I plan on CLE 1 for first. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 R&S math 1 is excellent to use before CLE math 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengjohnson Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I had the same question. We're currently using MCP K for my 4yo, I've always found it very good for preK. With my other girls I followed up with Horizons K and then on to Saxon 2. However, I'm switching the older two to CLE and am giving some thought to starting my youngest there. I know we couldn't go straight to CLE 1 though. I'm thinking about looking at Saxon 1 for K and then going to CLE 1 for first. I look forward to hearing more ideas. I've never used R&S for math.

MissKNG Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 We are working through Singapore Earlybird right now (PreK) and moving to Horizons K math for Kindergarten. I plan on using Horizons for 1st grade as well....so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ray2006 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 We are working through Horizons K, book 1 as well as BJU math K. (We won't be doing Horizons K, book 2. However, we will finish BJU K math.) My ds, 5, loves math and he is cruising through both of these wkbks. I plan on starting CLE math 100 in March 2010 just after his 6th birthday. I plan to move at a slower pace with CLE and I probably will add in Singapore or RS a few days per week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 My youngest will be in K next year and I am not sure what to use for math. I plan on CLE 1 for first. Thanks. I just used the R&S Kindergarten workbooks...I think the math one is the C book. My son loved these...and the math was enough along with counting, number recognition and lots of playing with the older kids math manipulatives. ~~Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 My youngest will be in K next year and I am not sure what to use for math. I plan on CLE 1 for first. Thanks. P.S. I am using CLE level 100 books 1-5 for Kindergarten and then will continue level 100 for 1rst. Ds is doing fine....we do math 3 days a week.

Mom0012 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 RS A would be fun. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommyX8 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I am using CLE 100 for my K as well. We just don't have to do it that often. He doesn't have any problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengjohnson Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I like the idea of using CLE 1 at half speed, thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 You won't need anything before CLE 100. It is VERY easy. The first 9 lessons are basically "this is the number __. Here are __ counters. This is how we write the number __." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen Academy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I am interested in these suggestions because I am using CLE 1 with my first grader, and I think developmentally he just isn't ready for all the concepts. CLE is quite advanced - my accelerated third grader is in the 3rd grade book, and my more at speed 3rd grader tested into the second, so it makes sense that not all first graders will be ready for CLE 1, and I can't imagine all K students being able to do it at all (though I have had some who would have enjoyed it). I have been considering using Developmental Math books 2 and 3 to fill in the gap until my little one is ready to grasp all the concepts in CLE 1.
