Joy at Home Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 We used this for the first time today and it went exceedingly well. Dd literally had tears in her eyes she was so happy she was able to solve such complex problems. It really makes me think that dd would benefit from more hands on learning for math. She is fifth grade. Does anyone have any suggestions for hands on math for this level? I would prefer supplemental activities that would enhance what we're as HOE does. She really enjoys TT, but I would like to add in some hands on (I'm particularly thinking of fractions). Any suggestions:bigear: Tx!

Beth in SW WA Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 For hands-on fractions, we use the RS Fractions Chart. Here's a pic of my dd using it here. Have you used SM bar models with fractions. Dd is doing some CWP 4 this morning for review. It is not hands-on but the bar model is very visual. We love HoE. Did buy the verbal problems book?

I just bought the introductory word problems book and the next levels, can't wait to get them! I'm going to take a look at the SM bar models, thanks!
