mo2 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have switched to TT with my 9yo and love it. I will most likely use it with the younger kids, but the lowest level TT has is grade 3. What program (if any) would you suggest for grades K-2, knowing that I intend to use TT in grade 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in SW WA Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Dd7 used SM 1, RS B & TT3 in grade 1. I would not recommend TT3 in grade 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You could look into TT3 for grade 2, if you wanted, but we use it on grade level and are happy that way. It's not a bad idea to check the placement test before then, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oraetstudia Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I used MUS before switching to TT. It depends upon the kid. I've had one who needed TT3 on grade level and one who is accelerated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra in va Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) We're using Saxon 1-3 and then will probably switch to TT for my 3rd dd - just turned 8...but I'm not sure which level we will start with. We'll use the placement tests to figure it out. I think TT3 for 3rd grade is fine if it's the right level for your child (placement tests are very helpful). Beth, your dd seems gifted in math (using CD prealg as an 8yo is advanced). Remember, each kid moves at his/her own pace. :) Edited February 3, 2012 by sandra in va Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyhappypeople Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think MUS would work very well. Do Alpha and then switch to TT3. TT starts off slow (lots of review), but it does pick up the pace quite a bit midway through. I'd hesitate to use it with a typical 1st grader. It works well for my atypical 1st grader but she's working at an accelerated pace in math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Dd7 used SM 1, RS B & TT3 in grade 1. I would not recommend TT3 in grade 3. My dd(8) is using TT3, and I think it is perfect for second grade. It introduces a lot of concepts most first grade scopes and sequences do not. To the OP, I would use CLE, or Math Mammoth prior to TT3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
