Mama2Many4 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We've been using Math Mammoth since the beginning of our 2nd grade school year and he's just not getting this way of teaching math. It's much too confusing for him, so today after reading threads for months on how great CLE math is I took the plunge and ordered it! I can't wait for it to get here so we can start!... Thank you. That is all. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lahmeh Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I started my son in CLE, switched to MM (have no idea why) and he begged me to go back to CLE. MM completely confused him. He loves CLE and has pretty much done it independently since he was 7 (with me sitting across from him). He totally gets it and doesn't complain. Good luck!

susankenny Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We really love CLE. What level are you starting him in? I hope you love it too. If not the resale is great. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medieval Mom Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Congratulations! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've finally determined (after 6 different math programs) that Math Mammoth and CLE are the only two I'm willing to use. :) Dd8 uses CLE and she refuses to even consider switching. Oldest dd and dd6 use Math Mammoth. CLE is perfect for my perfectionist, spiral-learner dd8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 After 11 years of homeschooling, and tons of math issues, CLE is the only math program we will use again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmschooling Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We are using MM, but I've wondered about CLE. What's the scoop on it? Is it conceptual like MM and Singapore? How's it compare to the other top picks for math around here? Good word problems? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedmom3 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) We love CLE too ! It get's repetitive for some kids , but some need this. With one child , I cross some work from CLE (things mastered) and do some Singapore , with another , he does ALL CLE --he needs it ! I think CLE works great for most children , including those with autism. I know a little boy , he is middle functioning and CLE works perfect for him . He works at grade level , mostly independently. He likes how organized it is , when to practice flashcards or do the speed drills, the simple , yet complete new concepts , etc Edited January 11, 2011 by blessedmom3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's it compare to the other top picks for math around here? Good word problems? :bigear: No , not as conceptual as MM or Singapore . More developmentally appropriate though . More conceptual than other traditional programs such as Horizons or Saxon. Here are some word problems taken from CLE 200. For an advanced child , I still supplement with Challenging Word Problems (Singapore). These are great to use with any math program. ----------------------------------- "Cottontail rabbits have babies often" said Mr. Parks . "Our mother rabbit here at the center had babies four times last year. The first time she had 6, and the second time there were 9 . The last two times there were 5 babies in each litter " . How many babies did the mother rabbit have last year? from CLE 205 , before introducing formal multiplication In Bible times, if someone stole a sheep,he had to give back more than the number he took . Benjamin's father had 35 sheep but someone stole one sheep .The thief was caught and he had to give back 5 sheep . How many sheep did Benjamin's father's have then?

Mommy22alyns Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We really like CLE here. :) CLE 300 is a definite for next year, and I think I may put Sylvia back into 100 (we tried it, but I dropped it for a true K level math for this year).

Yeah, I was hoping they would have had a k math program for my 5 year old, but I'll just stick with the total math this year that we've been doing and then order CLE 100 for him next year.

Mom0012 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I started my daughter in CLE Math 200 and she's just begun CLE 400. We will be using this program all the way through. It's perfect for her. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah, you won't be disappointed. Their math is the best subject they offer. We do CLE + Singapore and we like CLE more...:001_smile: It continually reviews and reinforces, which is what my kids need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4him Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We have been using CLE math now for over a year and love it. Hope it comes quickly for you and it is a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We've gone through levels 100, 500, 600, are most of the way through 200 (we'll start 300 soon) and are almost halfway through 700. I use it with my (possible gifted) daughter, and both of my 2e sons (gifted with LDs, both are on the autism spectrum.) The ONLY thing I dislike about CLE is that the Sunrise edition stop at the 800 level, so we have to find something else for algebra. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleWMN Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 After many math programs, we love CLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
