buttercup Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Which of these would you prefer if you had a dc who still struggles with these concepts and really needs practice in these areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Key to Decimals/percents would be my choice. I think it does a better job at cementing the skills. It starts at the beginning and moves through skills with lots of practice. LOF was a fun addition for us, but I didn't really think it would work for a child that was struggling.

Momling Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Keys to... Definitely! LOF has its place, but for a child who is struggling to understand a concept like fractions or decimals, I'd go with Keys to or MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key to was much more methodical in its instruction and had a lot more practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txhomemom Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I would go with Key to because you will get more practice with that series. LOF would be a fun addition. We actually did LOF while we were doing the Key to series, but only did it on days we had extra time and my dd was doing well in her math problems.

buttercup Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 It seems that the "Key to" series is the one we should go with . Thanks a bunch!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
