beth83 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 My daughter already has her numbers 1-10 down and has done various number, same/different, and more/less worksheets. After looking at what each one covers, I was wondering if we could start with B, or do you think it is important that we start with Essentials A? I just don't want to spend half a year doing stuff that we already know because she has been complaining that her 1-10 counting activities are too easy.

TracyP Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 EM B is a fairly significant step up. I would lean toward starting with A so your dc can start off "easy" and then move on. There is no reason to spend half a year on A. I believe we finished it in about 2 mos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_ashley Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I agree. We breezed through it in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 It won't take you a semester to go through A. My 4 year old did it this summer, and he only worked on it 1-2 times a week. I think you could safely start in B, but of you do A, make sure you ask why the child has chosen that answer for some of them. There are often multiple possible answers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I've got B on the shelf but haven't looked at it. We're a good chunk of the way thr A right now. The early part is more matching, identifying differences, basic logic. It has moved (where we are) to primarily counting, but that includes writing #s. Does that make a difference to you? Dd can do it easily w/out help, but she's still at a stage where she finds that thrilling, & writing the #s is hard for her. There's also figuring out how to read a graph, putting the #s in order... I don't know if any of those details help, though. :tongue_smilie: GL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 You could skip ahead to B, or you could go ahead and get A and let her move through it quickly. My dd loved book A even though she flew through it in just a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
