poetic license Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've been eyeing the Right Start products for a while, but for now, since we already have MM 1 and Miquon, have stuck to that for now, with a few MEP puzzles thrown in for fun. Would it be worth the $150 to go ahead and do RS B this fall after we finish MM 1? Does it teach that much more content or in such a better way that it makes it worth the extra time and $$? Also, FYI I'm thinking of adding in the Singapore IP/CWP for grade 1 at some point since we will eventually go to Singapore anyway. Plus my DS will be 5 this fall so hence my thought of doing the RS rather than jumping into SM 2A. Thoughts? Also does anyone know if RS usually offers discounts at conventions? I might go to Cincy at the end of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grace'smom Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Is it Math Mammoth 1A and 1B? We have that as a supplement and it seems to go along well with RS level A. I have RS B but haven't started it yet, so I can't speak to that, but if we're using MM 1A and B with RS level A then I guess it would be logical to follow what you are doing with RS B. Is the MM not working for you? It sounds like you have a good system going with what you are doing now... P.S. Usually I wouldn't answer this because I'm not a math person so I feel hesitant to give advice, but I figured since you hadn't had any bites on your question yet I might as well :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfall Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 If you don't want to go ahead into SM 2, then I think RS B would be fun to do after MM1. MM1 covers some things RS B doesn't, but RS B covers some addition into the thousands that MM1 doesn't. I think it would be great for a kid you think might not be mentally mature enough to move up in math, but is ready for working with slightly larger numbers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetic license Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks for the tips... I hear people saying that Right Start helped them to think about math differently, so I figured that we might as well take our time rather than moving ahead a grade. I think my own shortcomings in math have a lot to do with not being very handy with numbers mentally so I am hoping to learn along with DS. My main concern was that I'd spend a lot on something that would be repetitive. Hopefully I'll get a chance to get out to a convention and take a look first hand though.

wormbuy Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 We purchased RS A last year at Cincy and they gave us 10% off and free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
