Shellydon Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Looking at this program to fill a gap of time for my 6 yo. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We download and print in color using the draft option on the computer. I sometimes have had the books spiral bound (for like 2$ at a print shop) but we are now just using binders. If you buy the books from Lulu, they will not be in color, which sometimes does matter.

boscopup Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I download and print it myself. Very easy, and I have it on hand for my next kids. ;) Plus it's in color by me printing it. If you order the printed copy from lulu, it will be black and white, which is ok, but I like the color version better (it's not overly flashy - just simple color).

Well okay then, download and print it is. I will use a binder too. We have a color laser printer, so it should be easy enough. Thanks!

SnMomof7 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yep, we download, print, and stick in a binder, then pull out the relevant sheets when we want them. Very, very cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdeno Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I only use it as a supplement. If I was using the whole course I think I would purchase the whole book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCJessieRN Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 We download, print in color, hole punch, then put in notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellydon Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks everyone. I used the Homeschool Buyers Co-op and purchased the Light Blue series for grades 1-6. I can supplement to my heart's desire :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 An unintended advantage to buying the download: when your son looses his math book and it's no where to be found, you can print him of another. No more excuses not to do math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I buy the books. I don't want math to depend on the functionality of my printer. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more excuses not to do math. :iagree:We've had milk spill on his math work before. Just printed him another set! I print most of it out at the beginning of a cycle (like 6 weeks or something), so if printer issues are happening, they'll be fixed before we start anyway, because I have other things to print, and really, I just can't be without my printer. :tongue_smilie:(we also have two printers, so I can always go use DH's printer if I need to... sometimes my printer DOES act up... we'll be replacing it with a laser printer as soon this one runs out of ink).

mommy4ever Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I get the PDF, print it and bind with a comb binder by chapter. Fits great in the workboxes, and easy to to bring with if we are schooling while at appt, as there is only 1 chapter. It also keeps everything neat and tidy.

mothergooseof4 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Download and print. I bought the whole package in the fall through the co-op. This way I can use it for all three kiddos and any more that might come along. I just bound it with my new Proclick binder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more excuses not to do math. :iagree: I also reprint the page when there are too many mistakes and it needs to be redone... I bought the download in the past, but just ordered the CD from HSBC...I also print in color, on "fast normal" setting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
