Janelless Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 You guys always come through...so here we go again. Trying to get next years materials settled kinda gotta file with the state soon and gee they normally like to have something down! :) DD (7) is way advanced in the language portion of life. Math ummmm really NOT happening. We tried Math Mammoth, Horizons, Singapore (this year)...she's NOT getting math at all. Has a major mental block. WHAT do I do this year for 2nd grade math? Look at Saxon? Another program? Relax, read math books, play with manipulatives. Rightstart? But from what I see that's pricey and boy with husband unemployed that's not in our budget. What would you wise people suggest? I know it took me awhile when I was in school for math to click...so I'm hoping she's the same!:001_smile: Janelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Take a Miquon approach this year? Or MEP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelless Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 What is Miquon's approach? Have looked at MEP, found it kinda confusing (to me at least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Rightstart is what made math click for Rebecca (like yours, advanced in LA, not in math). I feel your pain on the unemployed DH though. Check out the for sale board and see if you can find it there? We also use CLE for math. It's not well-loved by the conceptual crowd, but it's solid and gets the job done. And it's inexpensive.

Crimson Wife Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 You can get the Right Start tutorial program fairly inexpensively and that will help you teach concepts the RS way without the high price tag of the full scripted program. What specifically about Math Mammoth did you not like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
