abrightmom Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Please tell me I can skip this? Pretty please? Seriously . . . is it necessary or can I omit these lessons? I don't want to cut out 1000 triangles and I honestly don't see the point . . . :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Skip it and don't worry about it! I tried to ask internet friends to contribute parts, but it just didn't pan out. Oh well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfall Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 LOL! I just asked the same question a while back. I don't think skipping it hurt us any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 This lesson has been holding us up, and I've been handing out Math Mammoth worksheets. We already did one of these in RS A, but I was very daunted to do so many in level B! Good to know that I can feel better if we just skipped this lesson and moved on.

Debbie in OR Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 We skipped it for both dc...maybe I don't understand the point of it but they are not fractal-challenged at the end of the day :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celia Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 This is quite timely! I read this thread, looked at our lesson book to see when it was coming, and it's next up! I'm skipping it!!! Not an appropriate lesson for a curriculum for homeschoolers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirch Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 We skipped it too. It looks totally cool, but just so impractical outside of a classroom or co-op setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrightmom Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Oh yeah baby!! I'm skipping it too!! Woohoo!! :lol: Thanks ladies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Skipped it. I am modifying RS B to fit my needs. I am saving all the geometry & time lessons for vacations. I want a strong footing on place value & trading/regrouping this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a strong footing on place value & trading/regrouping this year. Beth, This is EXACTLY what I'm going for! I was kind wishing for a topical approach because I get a tad overwhelmed trying to modify. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one wanting to use RS in a modified fashion. Thanks for letting me know I can skip that tens fractal! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha2U Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 It seems that I may be the only one, but I can honestly say that I'm glad we didn't skip the lesson(s?) on the Cotter Tens Fractal. We are in Level C this year, but my little man and I have referred to it (CTF) several times since learning about it last year in Level B. I'd just recommend doing the simplified version offered in the RS Yahoo (Tens Fractals Pyramids pdf), as suggested earlier by siloam, rather than skipping it entirely. Just my thoughts. :001_smile: Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much good stuff out there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE (really love) Math Mammoth . . . and I agree 100% that it dovetails beautifully with RS B. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
