RoundAbout Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 We're about half way through Rightstart A right now. For planning purposes I was wondering if anyone could tell me how many lessons are in Rightstart B and about how long each one takes (1 day? 2 day?). Thanks!

Heather R Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) There are 107 lessons. The complete table of contents are listed in the sample on their website. In our experience, even some of the lessons listed for 1 day took 1.5 or two days.

jplain Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 FYI, some of the lessons in B will duplicate what you've already done in RSA. My notes say that after we've finished A and are moving on to B, we should do the following lessons (in B): 8, 9, 15, 16, 24-107. However, if we've taken a long break or need review, we'd just start at the beginning of B and move quickly through the earlier lessons.

Crimson Wife Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 If you've got a young student, don't be surprised if it takes a while to get through RS B. I'm in my second time through B, and there are definitely some concepts that may take a child more than the listed number of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundAbout Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks everyone. Very helpful! My son turns 5 next month and won't officially be a Kindergartener until next fall so I plan to take RS B, and the rest of A, pretty slow so he doesn't hit a wall. So far he seems pretty math adept but I throw lots of Miquon and other math problems into the mix so we're not rushing through the curriculum.

go_go_gadget Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 My son went through at the pace prescribed until we got to mentally adding two digit numbers, and then again at adding four+digit numbers on paper. Those were all on worksheets, and I just only had him do half. We'd move on in the lessons, but finish the worksheet the next day. I also found that after learning a difficult concept like the ones I mentioned, he benefited enormously from taking a few days or even a week off of math. He never lost any ground doing that, and the break did him a world of good. My daughter is just getting into the trading with the base-10 cards, so it's hard to say yet if the same will be true for her. She's not as hard on herself and her brother is, though, so she might not have the same need for breaks that he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
