MM Blue series users I have a question

[campmom]

It looks like if I order the Blue series package for 1-3, It says there are 19 books divided by age. Is this the way it is? For example it says for addition there is a book 1, book 2a, 2b and book 3. Is addition divided into 4 seperate books by grade level? I would like to order these but if it is not divided by grade level I may need to go with the light blue first grade because I do want to know how much of each subject should be learned in 1st I don't want to try to do to much or not enough. I hope this makes sense. I will also be using RS b.thanks for your help

It doesn't divide by grade level at all. If you need more guidance in what and how much to teach when, I'd definitely go with light blue. I kind of wish I'd gone the light blue route. Live and learn.

It is not divided by grade level. I go by what my child is ready to learn and not what is expected for a grade level (and use MUS, which doesn't follow the standard scope and sequence) so it's not a problem for us. If I was using it as our only curriculum I might use the Light Blue but would use the grade level numbers only to order the sequence, not to determine what/when my child "should" be learning.

I guess what I meant by should be learning was that I didn't want to expect more out of them than I should and then be frustrated, not realizing I had gone into 2nd or 3rd grade levels. I'm happy to let them go ahead but didn't want to try to force it because I didn't really know where we should be.

 

Thanks you both for your help, I guess I'll go with the light blue if its not divided up. It sure appears to be the way they have it shown on the website under the packages.
