At one point I had Singapore, Miquon, MathUSee, Developmental Math, and Horizons. I am happy to say I have whittled it down to MUS and Singapore's Challenging Word Problems! I also have Mathtacular dvds, but that doesn't count, right? I do have Singapore level 1 texts, but I am actively trying to sell them, so they don't count either.

Here is what we are using:

CLE 4

Study Time Arithmetic Grade 3

Arithmetic Village

 

What we will probably use as well:

Practical Arithmetic

 

*Maybe* we will use here or there:

Making Math Meaningful

Oak Meadow Math, grade 4

 

What I'm pretty sure we will never use, but can't quite sell just yet:

Teaching Textbooks, several different years

 

What I am definitely ready to sell:

Math-It

Family Math

 

What I have, don't use, but don't think I can sell:

Living Math

 

Okay, so this is a pretty embarrassing list.:tongue_smilie: I think our choices for this year are pretty grounded and seem a good fit so far. So, I feel a bit better about the above list in light of that.

I didn't toss or sell the Saxon math, so I have that even though we switched over a year ago to Singapore - so I have that too - and I supplement with Horizons workbooks, so I have those, but not the entire program.

 

For the future I have on hand, Lial's Basic College Math, Duxbury's Intro to Statistical Methods and Data Analysis, a box of both DH and my college math books, and my old AP Calculus book - not sure if we'll use any of them, but we have them! Oh and in my dining room somewhere is a precalculus textbook DS picked up at the library book sale that he thought looked "neat".

Short answer - you don't want to know!! :lol:

 

 

Long answer -

AoPS Prealgebra, Intro to Algebra, Intro to Number Theory

 

Saxon Math - ALL of it, from kindergarten through calculus and physics. Also have the fourth edition Saxon Alg - Geo - Alg II sequence. Also have old first editions of Calculus and Geo Trig Alg III (what Advanced math used to be called) (My DD may learn best from AoPS, but *I* am not as smart as she is, LOL!!)

 

Dolciani Prealgebra and Algebra

 

Foersters' Algebra I

 

Jacobs Algebra

 

University of Chicago Mathematics Project Algebra

 

larson's calculus of a single variable (not sure this counts since it's a contribution from DH, but I'm KEEPING it because we might need it for homeschool someday!! :) )

 

Key to books, most of them but a random assortment as some have gotten used up as DD used them for supplements

 

Patty Paper Geometry

 

Murderous Maths

 

all three Danica McKellar books

 

and a boatload of various manipulatives

 

 

Yes, I am insane. I fear to see what the collection will look like by the time my mathy kids reach college!!

Muggins - not used much

Hands on Algebra - great word problems!

Teaching Textbooks - the math that works for my 2nd oldest....

MEP - like this for reception/1st

AOPS - prealgebra

Mammoth Math (ebooks) - whatever color series that works on individual skills like fractions...

CLE - teacher manuals only

Math U See (only own blocks and skip counting cd) - still use blocks occasionally

Harcourt (1st grade worktext that was given to me) - in with the coloring books

Erm.

 

Math Mammoth

Two Plus Two is Not Five

MEP

Right Start

Rod & Staff

various living books (Sir Cumference, etc)

MathTacular DVDs

Singapore CWP

Oak Meadow (included in the syllabus)

 

I feel compelled to point out that RS, R&S and MEP are all 1st grade level, and we are not using them any longer (and I'm actively trying to sell RS), so it's not quite as bad as it sounds. Although I did ask DH to print the current level of MEP, and I'm seriously considering getting the new LOF elementary books as a supplement...

 

And I've sold or given away Spectrum, Miquon and MBTP (not strictly a math curriculum, but one of the 6-8 units was all measurement).

 

Hi, I'm Aurelia and I'm a math curriculum junkie. :seeya:

Singapore 3a/b, 4a/b and all the assorted other books.

Life of Fred A and B

Math Mammoth 1-6

Right start Math games

About 20 read aloud math books and the same number of other math games.

 

Our downfall is science.

I was just thinking today after I went to order something I read about, how much is enough? I have a very liberal budget. Ordering does not hurt our finances. But, there is not enough time to read every book I have here now. It is something I'm trying to get a grip on :001_smile:

Right Start A-C

Singapore 1A/B, 3A-5A, 6B, DM1 plus the complete CWP series and 1A/B, 3A-6B IP

Life of Fred Fractions through Pre-Algebra 2

I have Miquon Orange, Singapore Essentials A and B and U.S. Edition for first grade A and B, and Kitchen Table Math Book 1 on the way (literally being shipped).

 

ETA: I forgot to add in some ebook ones I have but haven't printed: Efficiency Mathematics Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced. Also Ray's Arithmetic Primary and Intellectual and Funnix Math

 

And my daughter just learned to count things. :)

Math Mammoth (1st, 4th, 6th) MUS (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon and Zeta) LOF (Apples, Butterflies, Cats,Dogs, Fractions, Decimals, PreAlgebra with Biology, PreAlgebra with Economics, Beginning Algebra), and Singapore Early bird A and B and I had Singapore 1A and 1B till I loaned it out.

 

Here's what really disturbing: I started homeschooling one dc in Fall of 2009 and the rest didn't start until 2010/2011.

 

So that is the math curriculum I've purchased and used in only 21 months.

 

Good heavens. :tongue_smilie:

MUS Beta, that I'm using. :D A Singapore text that I may use just to cement some ideas.

 

I think in my for sale pile is a fake Singapore text (didn't realize it was the other Singapore until I bought it), a couple Cuisenare rod books (fractions and how to use), some random high school ACE (consumer, I think), and an old set of A Beka 8th grade (yellow cover) that I can't seem to give away.

 

I think that's all.

Okay, I don't feel so bad now...there are plenty of you out there with just as much stuff!

 

I have currently:

 

Miquon (all the student and teacher materials) DD hated it; perhaps one of the boys will like it!

MM all the levels

Singapore K Essentials A and B; DD completed these already

Practical Arithmetic Book 1

Japanese Math Grades 1-6 textbook and workbooks.

Prof B prek-2nd grade DVD and workbook; DD likes this program as well

MEP Reception and Year 1 which is our math program now supplemented with MM. DD loves it!

Rightstart Math Games and Al Abacus activities; these are hit as well

Living Math books- Greg Tang, Anno's counting books, etc

A bunch of vintage math books found on google books (way too many to go through)

 

Resisted the Singapore lure after Essentials and diving in MEP more. I may add CWP later on, but not worried about it. I will be adding Life of Fred Elementary at some point.

I am not even going to list everything I have sold within the last few months :001_huh:

 

We do use either whole or part of most of this though if that makes a difference ;)

 

I think I need a 10 step program. :leaving:

It's comforting to be in this group of parents who probably own more math books than shoes (or would that just be me?).

 

All of Miquon

Almost all of Life of Fred

All of Professor B Math

Saxon

MM

Singapore through 4th grade

Almost all the extra Singapore math books

A few different mental math strategy workbooks

Zacarro Primary Math

 

 

Will be adding to this pile the new elementary books from LOF, probably the AOPS Elementary books once available unless they become too elementary for us, and Hands on Equations.

 

And I only started accumulating as of 1 year ago.

 

ETA: Hey, I just realized this thread is a trick! I see there are some books I need to buy.

Point 1= my math books by FAR out number my shoes/flip flops/ boots owned put together

 

Point 2= so far I have resisted the urge to google some of these. Except for the evil link that was linked. Thats like giving a case of beer to an alcoholic :glare:
