mazakaal Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm going to switch my 8yo dd from MEP to MM. She's just finishing MEP 2a right now. I've looked at the samples from MM and it looks like she's up to speed on addition/subtraction methods up to 3a in MM, but she's missing place value to hundreds, geometry, fractions, and clocks, so I got the blue workbooks for those topics. I'm hoping I can get her through these and then put her in 3a. Is anyone familiar with both programs? Does this sound about right? Also, how does MEP 1 line up with MM 1? 6yo ds is finishing MEP 1b. Could I put him in MM 1b? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkermamaof4 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 My kids found MEP to be much easier to do than MM and used MM at a grade lower than MEP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khall Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 MEP and MM are set up a little differently as far as the scope and sequence go. We used MEP last year and decided to switch to MM for this school year because it seems to be less teacher intensive. DD8 finished MEP 2A in May and we started MM Light Blue 2A this summer. It's been a fairly smooth transition and there have been portions that we've skipped because she had already mastered them. I would recommend that you look at the placement tests from the MM website to get a better idea of what is covered in each grade level.

mazakaal Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 I had looked through the samples and TOC for each level. I didn't see the placement tests. I'll check them out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
