Seal Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I was much too ambitious and started WAY too early with my little one..and I'm paying the price now. However, we're starting K next year and I need a good math program that is very hands on. (She's a hands on learner and I'm a worksheet person!) We're using MFW for K, and I know they have a math program in, but I'm wondering if that's enough or if we should add another program in? I've heard about RS Math and Math U See--any others or thoughts on those two? Should I even include anything with the K program in MFW? I really want to transition her back to Horizon's later on because I love it but I need much more basic work for and more hands on at the moment! Thanks!

Irishmommy Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I don't really know what is included in MFW, but we are loving Miquon over here. My girlie is learning so much and we both just adore the rods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 For MFW K, no other math is necessary other than what is included in the manual. If your dd likes math and wants more, you could add Singapore or Miquon. If she is hands-on...Miquon would be great. In fact, if you are using MFW K you probably already have the Cuisenaire Rods and Alphabet Book so all you need are the Miquon books!

Oops, duplicate account :/ Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 MFW K and Miquon here. Great combo if you can wrap your head around Miquon. :tongue_smilie: There's lots of helpful past threads to help with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Your little one is 4, right? If so, your little one definitely won't need more than is in MFW, take it easy, 4 and even 5 is so small :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
