ladydusk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 We have two currently: MEP and Ray's. We're about to drop Ray's and I'm going to purchase the Math Mammoth Light Blue series. I downloaded the samples and M-girl keeps asking to do more Math Mammoth. I think it and MEP will work beautifully together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommee & Baba Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I voted 1. Although we've used more than just 1 grade level of it. We use MEP and have used it so far for 2 grade levels, about to be 3 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaichiki Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Singapore Math (we use) Math-U-See (first one I tried -- used for a few months) Key To Fractions (used as a supplement, but I had all the books and I think it's designed as "real" curriculum) VideoText Algebra Miquon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I get by with 3. I fell in love with Singapore, and still use it, but realized my kids needs for something very hands on. I started with Miquon but my oldest two really disliked it. I think they just prefer something that is direct and concrete in explaining things, not where you are supposed to discover it. Thus I switched to Right Start, which has been a good fit. You know I only counted where we are at now and below. I didn't even think to count where we are going. Given I adore math, and will do math just for fun, I allowed myself to buy a lot of the popular Algebra texts. I bought them used and plan to keep them long after I am done hsing (I still have my college math books too). I don't necessarily even think of them as hs stuff. If you count those my answer would seriously skyrocket to the last answer. Though I already voted so I guess it doesn't matter. :D Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
