Nathansmommy Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 How long does it take your third grader to do their math? What math curriculum are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EgoElfWife Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 If they put their mind to it, 15-20 minutes, if they want to fool around, up to an hour. We do MUS. My ending 3rd grader is finishing Beta. My ending 1st grader is finishing Alpha and my PreK/Ker will be in the middle of Primer. If the almost 4th grader would stop fooling around, he will get through Delta this year.

Mom25girls Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My third grader started the year doing MM and Saxon 3. She switched to Saxon 54 in January but it still wasn't a great fit. I switched her to MM and CLE math late in the Spring and that has been a great combination for her. I'd say she spends less than an hour on math a day. She would rather complete it in a block than broken into several sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truebluexf Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 MUS takes 15-20 minutes. We were doing Singapore before, and it could take up to an hour based on the amount of work, type of work, and the crying of DS...which is why we do MUS now, lol. He likes it TONS better!!! And is learning better because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto4 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My son would usually take 45 minutes to do his Singapore math. That included some teaching, his own work, and a drill sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Academy Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 We use Singapore Math and it takes about 30 min., sometimes a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My 3rd grader (he's going into 4th but completed 3rd this year) spends about an hour a day on math. He completed SM 3A and 3B Text and WB, IP and CWP along with some other fun math projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralloyd Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 MUS Gamma- 15-20 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Saxon 3- 15-20min/day (Unless he is having trouble concentrating- then it is closer to 30min.) Flashmaster- 5-10min/day We do Flashmaster 6x/week. Saxon is done 6x a week, but we only cover 3 lessons/week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2teach0307 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 We take an hour, but my dd does not have a fast speed; she does everything at her own pace, but she's thorough. We drill for 10 minutes, do review or a game or CWP for 10 min., a new SM lesson for 15-20 minutes. She does the WB on her own and that can take another 15-20 minutes. Rarely do we finish under an hour, but I don't let her go much longer than an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miracleone Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 We use CLE and it takes about 40 mins then about 10-15 mins if we do the drills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My rising 4th grader spends about 30-45 minutes or so on Singapore. If she's working out of the Intensive Practice book it can be quite a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Dd is a space cadet (I say that with love, but seriously, she could spend an hour staring at the wall if I let her) It *can* take her 20 minutes, but it *usually* takes her over an hour (see the space cadet thing :glare:) She does a combo of Horizons and Singapore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 20-30 minutes, depending on dawdling factor - Teaching Textbooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My daughter uses CLE and I would say it takes it about 30, maybe 40 minutes to do the lesson. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
