Paige Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is there a math curriculum that works similarly to All About Spelling? I think something like that, which focuses on rules, repetition, and gradual progression would be helpful for my kids. I know all math must include rules and repetition, but I'm looking for something a little more explicit with something like the key cards in AAS. I've thought about making my own but I'd rather just buy something already made if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aludlam Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 There are no cards that I know of, but have you looked into Math-U-See? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truebluexf Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think RightStarth Math would be the closest to AAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think RightStarth Math would be the closest to AAS. :iagree:RS is "hands-on", scripted, and teacher-intensive like AAS. It doesn't have the kind of "key cards" like in AAS but I don't know of any math program that does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I wouldn't say that Right Start quite fits that description, but it works well for my AAS-loving dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 RightStart is the math that comes to mind for me. We've tried many math programs, and we love both AAS and RS. Both interactive, using manipulatives, and scripted. Neither focuses on worksheets, which other programs in math and spelling normally do.

PeterPan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I like RS through mid-C and then Math Mammoth after that. Someone mentioned recently taking the new concepts in math and putting them onto index cards to review occasionally, just like our AAS stuff. I don't know of a curriculum that does that, but you could do it yourself. Well that's not true, Classical Conversations does some of that as math memory work.

Paige Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Are Right Start and Math U See similar to Shiller Math? I thought they were the same style of math. That's what we started with last summer since I already had it and it worked well for my oldest but these kids hated it. Really, really hated it.

That's what we started with last summer since I already had it and it worked well for my oldest but these kids hated it. Really, really hated it. Right Start was developed by a Montessori teacher who was interested in Asian-style math. It's most similar to Singapore, Math in Focus, and Math Mammoth but is "hands-on" rather than workbook-based. I don't know anything about Shiller Math except that it has a negative reputation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I would say Right Start, but my kids need more practice, so they play the games daily and they also do Singapore for review. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
