Crimson Wife Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You need to offer multiple choices. In the primary grades, I use Right Start supplemented with Singapore. In the higher grades, I use Singapore supplemented with Math Mammoth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondeviolin Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Currently we are using a mix of Miquon and MEP. Since we just got SM 1b, we'll throw that back Ono the mix too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeteranMom Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I voted "something else", because I am currently using 3 different math curriculums for my kids. My sons use Saxon and supplement with Teaching Textbooks. My daughter uses CLE and Teaching Textbooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Math Mammoth and CLE, depending on the kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We use a mix of Math in Focus (student books and student workbooks only), MEP, and Miquon. We also add in CWP and IP from Singapore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyjoh62080 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We use Rod & Staff. I was surprised that it wasn't listed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We've used Horizons for 1st and 2nd grade, which is how I voted. I like it. However, we've been supplementing with Math Mammoth for a few weeks to help with carrying/borrowing, and I'm really liking it. Considering a switch sometime down the road.

anabelneri Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We're using MEP most consistently, but we're also LoFing and we have used RS, Singapore, MM, and the Beast Academy sample. Oh, and Miquon is on the shelf and used now and then. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertmum Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We are working through Singapore Essential Math (K). Next year I will be using Math Mammoth along with Singapore Math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissKNG Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We use multiple programs too. Singapore Primary Math is our spine (w CWP) but we also dabble in MEP, "Keys to" series, other random books that look fun. Plus "mathy" books like Penrose the Mathematical Cat.

3peasinapod Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I voted something else too, as we use different curricula. I use MM for DD7 who is more math oriented and CLE for DD8 who struggles with math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I voted Singapore, since both kids are currently using it now, but we have used Math Mammoth much longer (grades 1-4), and I like that too. DS1 just prefers the presentation of Singapore, so he's using that for grades 4 and 5, then we'll use MM5/6 to fill in whatever else we need before doing the prealgebra portion of an algebra book. I'm currently leaning toward Singapore 1 for DS2 next year, but he may do MM1. Or if he ends up needing a spiral curriculum, I'd use CLE. Just can't tell what he'll need yet. He's doing very well with Singapore EM K this year. We're into number bonds, and he uses C-rods to help him out. We're both enjoying this book.

Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am using Kathryn Stout's Maximum Math and we are creating a Math Journal. DD hated math, since we started doing it this way she asks to do math first. In the past I have used: BJU (great) Abeka(great for elementary) Horizons (so-so) Saxon (awful) Aleks(fair) Paces(good in a pinch) Thinkwell (awful) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I voted MM, since that is the bulk of our years from 1-6. We start with Horizons in first grade and somewhere in 2nd grade we segue into MM. I find that MM's first grade is difficult and somewhat confusing for my kids. Both dc had trouble with it, so I switched back to Horizons for them. With ds we did all of Horizons 2, then all of MM2 (we work math through the summer) and this year is just MM3. DD started MM1, had trouble, and is now happily plowing through Horizons I, but I will switch her to MM next year at some point. I like grades 2 and up much better.

prairiegirl Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We use a mishmash of curriculum for each child. My oldest used RightStart until Gr. 4 then moved to MUS and LoF. My ds used RightStart until Gr. 4 then moved on to BJU. My youngest uses MM and LoF elementary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Different things for different kids. :) One is doing MM and the Singapore CWP.

*Lulu* Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I voted other. For each child it is a little different, but the basic breakdown is as follows: K- Miquon, MEP, games, and lots of pre-math work, 1st- Miquon, MEP, games, and lots of fact work 2nd- Miquon, MEP, Math Mammoth, games, and fact work 3rd-6th- Saxon, Miquon, Math Mammoth,games, and fact work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorMom Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We were all over the board in different grades, and for each kid. My younger son did use MUS until he got to Zeta (we hated it at Zeta). My older DS used LoF exclusively in 7th grade for pre-algebra and did awesome in Algebra, but DS 2 didn't click with LoF as well. We used it for pre-algebra, but needed to supplement it.

danybug Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We used Singapore for my ds for 4 years, but switched to Saxon, as that is what I want to use from middle school on. I am so glad I switched. We are now on Saxon 7/6. I will now be starting Saxon 1 with my dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We have mostly used RightStart so far, but DS10 moved on to Singapore 5 in September as there wasn't a suitable RightStart level. DS7 has been doing RS C, but was beginning to struggle at around Lesson 90, so we're now doing RS C at a slower pace, and supplementing it with Singapore 2, which he finds easier. DS4 is also doing RS A and Singapore EarlyBird at the same time. Math takes up most of the morning here :001_smile:. Cassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3byzaz Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 CLE for 1-7 or 8 and then TT with LOF for Alg and up...I think...might have to do something different for #2 & 3 coming out of CLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I voted Math Mammoth, and I do consider this my spine, but we use other resources for other purposes: TT - for review and for independent work on Fridays (while I'm working) Life of Fred - for joy, giggles, and fun, because she really likes it and it's fun snuggle on the couch reading. I also find that we learn something from almost every chapter, even if it isn't math . . . Sometimes all that gets her through that second or third page of MM is the promise of Fred at the end of Math time! Kitchen Table Math - for ideas of how to present new material, more of a teacher resource I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
