One of the beautiful things about homeschooling is the ability to "tweak" -- but am wondering if it is worth it here? Thanks in advance!

We did Interactive (not this edition) early.... but we were matching it to his math level. Keep in mind that Interactive A is meant to be done at the same time as Singapore NEM 1, and Interactive B is meant to be done at the same time as NEM 2. So there was really heavy use of prealgebra math (especially fractions and percents) and some algebra. Most of the complaints I've heard about Interactive is that the math is too hard..... That might have changed in the new edition, and I'm sure you could skip some stuff to adapt it... but generally speaking I'd say the best fit is going to be matching it to math.

kailuamom Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks, Erica! I am just having a hard time figuring out what to do for science next year. We did Calvert last year and getting my mind back into thinking what to do for each grade, each subject is proving more difficult than I thought!
