shinyhappypeople Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 ... do you use something else for math? I'm thinking about combining the DDs into 3rd grade OM for next year, but I'd probably want to continue on with what we're currently doing for math, because it's working well and they're at different levels (fwiw: Math Mammoth for the elder and McRuffy for the younger).

Lisa in the UP of MI Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 We use Singapore Math in addition to the math in OM. If what you are currently using is working I would continue to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I use OM math for my younger dd but it didn't come with the material I bought for the 5th or 6th. So I use OM and Rod and Staff for my younger and just Rod and Staff for my older. We used to use Singapore but we kept getting stuck. As my younger gets into the upper levels I will probably track down OM math for her because she learns well with this method.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyhappypeople Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Thanks. I'll keep OM in mind for next year, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I used OM's math for my daughter last year for 4th grade. This year we're doing OM5 and I decided to use Teaching Textbooks for math. The only reason I decided this is because I have an older, used version of OM and in the version I had, they didn't used to have their own math curriculum in 5th grade. They wanted me to use Saxon which I can't stand. So I decided to go with TT instead. Of course, I subsequently found out that OM nowadays does use its own math curriculum in 5th grade and up, whereas it didn't used to. If I had the newer version of OM, I'd have just gone with their math program, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Now I have to ask: What is the OM math program like for 5th grade? Would a parent who isn't "mathy" be able to use it easily with their child? I'm considering OM next year for 5th grade with my ds, but I was also looking at TT for him.

This might give you a pretty good idea of what it's like: http://www.oakmeadow.com/curriculum/fifth-grade.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
