Melissa B Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) For my dd just entering 6th grade: We need to leave Singapore math. She is finishing up level 4 over the summer. This is a child that loves creative writing and music. She has been writing as long as I can remember and submits stories to magazines, participates every year in Nanowrimo, etc. Her free time is spent writing and playing music (guitar, keyboard, recorder, harmonica.) She doesn't enjoy math. She doesn't want the why or the whole picture. She wants it to be clear, functional and done. So I am thinking incremental might work better for her. She is very bright and I don't want a light math sequence, just one more suited to her abilities. She also likes the story aspect of LOF (which her sister has done.) I'm not sure how well she will do with the actual math? But I was thinking Saxon is solid enough that we could leave off the LOF if it becomes too much. Would this work? Key to Fractions, Decimals, Percents - supp. LOF Fractions and LOF Decimals Saxon Algebra 1/2 - supp. LOF Pre-Algebra Saxon Algebra 1 - supp. LOF Algebra Saxon Algebra 2 - supp. LOF Advanced Algebra Saxon Advanced Math - supp. LOF Geometry two math classes at comm. college senior year (or jr/sr years) Edited June 13, 2011 by Melissa B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
