Teachaheart Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi everyone. I will be using MM 5 & 6 this coming school year and was wondering if other users could tell me approximately how long you spend on the lessons each day. Also, if you supplement, would you mind telling me what you use and why? Thanks! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracyomalley Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 We have never tried to do a "lesson a day" with Math Mammoth - some days 3 pages is fast, some days 2 is plenty...depends upon the subject. In general, though, my kids have always finished easily in less than a year - My oldest is using MM 6 for his spine this year and using LoF (finishing percents and has prealgebra with bio) for a supplement (already did fractions). He also did TT7 most of last year and will finish that. I just look at a lesson, and usually shoot for him to do 3-4 a week... Same for youngest in MM 3 - although he does about 1.5 levels a year so far.... Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 We do 2-3 pages a day, it just depends if it is a lot of problems, or mostly pictures, lol. I do NOT assign all the problems, just about half. It takes him maybe 20 -30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachaheart Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thank you, Erin and Katie. Your input has been helpful as I am planning our weekly schedule. We will also be using Life of Fred, which I forgot to mention above. So, I guess 45 minutes a day is reasonable for both MM and LOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracyomalley Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Depends upon your kid....my son does 60-90 minutes of math a day. Either MM or Life of Fred, but if he does LOF he usually does 2 chapters and also some on line drill....and he's a slow poke. erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
