kristinannie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 We are working through SM1a. We are about to start subtraction which is the third topic. I was looking through the IP and I think that DS would enjoy doing some of the pages from the first two sections. How do you work these in? I am thinking that I will wait awhile on CWP, but am not sure. We do math 4-5 days a week, but I use more than one program (SM, Miquon and some MEP). We spend about 20-30 minutes on math per day (split into 2-3 different lessons throughout the morning). How do you schedule the IP and the CWP? Do you do it a few days a week or have one day a week just do the extras? Sorry to ramble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Dd does the chapter in the text and wb then completes the IP pages. We'll do CWP when we finish the year as review before starting the next level. I didn't use CWP when she did SM 1 and 2, she did Miquon instead.

kbpaulie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 We do SM & Miquon. Didn't start IP until she was in SM2. Then we started on IP1. We'd do some SM and then 1-2 pgs of Miquon or IP - maybe doing 1-2 ages a day in the summer too just to keep things fresh. Didn't try to coordinate any of it. Also found as we were further along sometimes we'd skip an IP or Miquon book to try to keep on some sort of track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I just pull them out when we need a break from the norm. They're not scheduled or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 With my oldest through 5A, I did them after she finished the chapter in the textbook (she didn't use the workbook). Right now things are a bit in flux because I'm trying to figure out a new schedule incorporating Singapore Discovering Math 1, Horizons Pre-Algebra, the Primary Math 5B-6B IP books, and the Primary Math CWP 5 & 6 books. With my DS, I'm alternating between the 1B textbook, the 1A IP, CWP 1, and also Right Start B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 We finished the text and wkbk, then did the IP and then the CWP. I tried mixing it in, bit it was too much repitition all at once. Now it is review and a little challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I just pull them out when we need a break from the norm. They're not scheduled or anything. That's the way we do it too. No schedule, just break them out when we need a change of pace. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I do IP when DD is solid on the concepts, then CWP usually a unit back as the "warm up". I didn't start the extra books until 2A, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
