walkermamaof4 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'd love to hear your thoughts of comparison. Which did you prefer if either and why? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ummto4 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 MM: - easier to use, no flipping. - almost independent. - mastery. Chapters can be used in almost any order. MEP: - mostly teacher-dependent. - spiral with mastery. IT's better used in order. - lots of puzzles and weird problems. I use MM to explain a concept, then use MEP for enrichment.

walkermamaof4 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 thanks! I purchased MM bc/ it seemed less teacher-intensive. But MEP is so appealing! And I own and love RS. Man, I am such a junky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RecumbentHeart Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I was intending to use both but haven't used either yet. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ummto4 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 thanks! I purchased MM bc/ it seemed less teacher-intensive. But MEP is so appealing! And I own and love RS. Man, I am such a junky! I own RS, too. ALl five of them, and MoTL. They're sitting on my bookshelves, unused. I still can't sell them, just in case, you know ... Anyway, I've used MM for two years now, so I'm pretty much settled. MM makes it easy and painless to teach conceptual math to my children. I supplement MM with unique problems (the ones with lots of < and >, as well as logic puzzles) from MEP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrappyhappymama Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 We are just switching to MM from Saxon, and intend to supplement with MEP. I really like what I see with MM, but even the author encourages supplementing it with CWP or other thinking problems. I think MEP will fit the bill as it takes a puzzle approach to problem solving, my son loves it already, and it's free. Bonus, bonus, bonus!

bluemongoose Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have been using MM with MEP and Miquon. I think both need a spine so I don't use them as stand alone, but I like them for enrichment with my MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
