Evergreen Academy Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have been considering MUS for my ds7, who is in 2nd grade. He most likely has ADHD and some days math is easy, other days, he explained to me, "it is like there is a light on in my brain. When I try to think about math, the light goes out. It is just dark." Poor little guy. We have been using CLE since last year but he is still only midway through the program, is having a great deal of trouble with place value, and while some days he is spot on, others it seems his little mind just can't figure math. Do you think MUS would help with this? What level would you choose for him?

meet me in paris Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I would just start with Alpha, since there is a lot of place value emphasis. I did the same with my 8yo when she was having place value issues in Saxon 3. You can definitely go through it quickly, since a lot of it is likely to be review. But, the lessons and the manipulatives are really helpful in solidifying place value, so I think it's time and money well spent. After 6 months we're almost done with Beta.

Evergreen Academy Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thank you, I appreciate the advice. I have put off using this curriculum but I think it may be time to give it a go! It is good to know where to start! Aimee mom to 6 great kids ages 7-20, 2 in college! and schooling grades 2, 4, 4 and 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
