diaperjoys Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 for my son who is finishing BJU K5 Math early. He's bright and gets math pretty easily (which is why he's ahead), but I don't want to push him into first grade math just yet. What's a fun workbook that will help him maintain the skills he's gained thus far?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) My dd likes the Critical Thinking Company math books! Oh wait! There's a Reader Rabbit Math book that my dd loves too: http://www.amazon.com/Reader-Rabbit-Math-Kindergarten-1St-Grade/dp/0763076376/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263240043&sr=8-5 ETA: I love rabbits so we work from Reader Rabbit over CTC! And Reader Rabbit is cute! Edited January 11, 2010 by MissKNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1GirlTwinBoys Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 What about Singapore Earlybird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You might want to look at Barnes & Noble. They got a few different math workbooks (Kumon, Flash Kids or Flash Forward) and they are colorful and inexpensive. We did the Flash Kids Spelling Skills workbooks one year and I thought they were well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlgbug Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Horizons K seems fun to my DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diaperjoys Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 What about Singapore Earlybird? You know, I was just browsing Singapore 1a when your message popped through. I think Singapore would be enough of a change of pace for him that he'd love it. We could go at an easy pace until it is time to kick things into gear again next fall for first grade. Earlybird or 1a, do you think? Concepts aren't difficult for him; it's more a maturity thing - the typical little boy who quickly grows weary of holding a pencil and printing numbers on a dotted line. Matching, circling, x'ing...all that goes over pretty well. I can't find a place to look inside an earlybird book (or a place to order, for that matter) so I'm having a hard time choosing between the two levels.

MissKNG Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 What about Singapore Earlybird? I would go with Book B then because Book A is more like a PreK level. If you are thinking curriculum workbooks, we are going to start Horizons K in March. It's a spiral program and based on what I've read here and other places, it's about 6 months advanced. Towards the middle to end of Book 2 is more like 1st grade math in most of the problems (like 85+3 or 98-2 - with a number line) imo. How long do you want to hold off 1st grade math? I'm trying to hold off starting Horizons K (we should finish Earlybird next week) by just letting dd do whatever pages she wants in the Reader Rabbit book until March. That way it's a "break" from curriculum and she gets to choose what she wants to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
