hsmom Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Those that use MM light blue series do you feel it is enough? Or do you supplement it with something else? I really think this is the one for us and the price is just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschnee Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's enough. It's a very thorough program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscopup Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's enough. (I add in Singapore IP/CWP only because DS needs the extra challenge to help slow him down a tiny bit... MM is plenty for most students) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I use MIRL with it, also MM. I like the additional perspective of using math in a variety of ways. Otherwise, it is enough. We have actually sat Saxon on the shelf already. Go figure. I miss it, but I do not think that dd does. :( I am sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Saxon is getting shelved here also. What is MIRL? I thought of maybe adding in a bit of living math to our schedule. That way he gets it a bit different and it won't seem so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I am using some Living Math too. MIRL - Math In Real Life I bought the entire MM set earlier this year. It was very much worth the MIRL and entire grade package too. MIRL is a book of lessons that use specfic skills such averaging or fractions to show how the math is used in real life. A cooking lesson demonstrates fractions, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn that it was Math in Real Life. Did we have a name change?:glare: Did I lose my mind again?:lol: Edit: I suppose that you don't want to know about the States by Numbers on the MM site too? LOL I have those as well. I couldn't help it. http://www.mathmammoth.com/worksheets/mirl/states_by_the_numbers.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommee & Baba Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thank you all for your help. I did it and I bought MM just now. Printing it out as I type! Congrats!! We switched to MM light blue series last year and haven't had any regrets since the switch! It's all we use for math as it's very well done and there is no need to add anything.

hsmom Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 All printed out. I did get the clock, measurement, and a few others to add in since he is a bit weak on those points. I am so excited to start tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandty Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Another that agrees that is is plenty. I would say it is too much at times. We were using MUS before and MM is much more indepth, but I miss the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
