jclinton Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Has anyone done this? How difficult would this be. I like the mental math aspect of Singapore but I really like the mastery approach of MUS. I have used both programs but can't see a reasonable way to combine them. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbackmama Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 We don't combine either - we just use both. MUS is on MWF, and Singapore is on TTh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'etudie Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 We do both every day M-Th, one Singapore exercise and 1-2 pages of MUS. My kids are young so that might change when they get older and the math takes longer. Right now it takes 20-30 minutes to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have used MUS as a supplement to Singapore, but I happen to have Alpha-Zeta sitting on the shelf. Otherwise, I'd just stick with Singapore, as I feel it is a superior program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawbanana Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have wondered this too...my girls age 9.5, 8 and 6 use Math U See but I have debated on getting Singapore just to see what all the hype is about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in GA Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I recently started giving Singapore 1B workbook to my first grader. She is about a third of the way through Beta and finds it very easy. We just sort of do both right now. She seems to understand everything in Singapore 1B, so we just do it on the side "for fun," kinda like you would do a maze. She does it here and there, we skip around, whatever. We go through MUS more systematically. I'm glad I'm supplementing with her, because she watches the MUS lesson and immediately gets it at the first worksheet. She went through the Alpha book in less than three months. Yet I don't want to switch -- yet. For one thing, I like MUS myself, and for another, her sister is in MUS as well, and I"m trying to keep things simple if possible.

jclinton Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 My dd is not that math minded although she has these moments of brilliance that really suprise me! I was hoping for some magic formula:001_smile: haha. Thanks for the help though, JoAnne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
