LillianinAL Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Which other programs compare to CLE Math? Is it more like Saxon, Singapore, etc? I'm deciding between R&S and Saxon right now, as it seems dd would do well with their approaches, but I thought I should look at a couple of other options. Thanks!

MIch elle Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 for my youngest. My oldest used R&S math 3-6,8. CLE math is more advanced and does a better job for preparing for higher math than R&S, IMHO.

BizyPenguin Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've compared R&S and CLE math on my blog. Click "Curriculum Reviews" to find it. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyR Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 It is compared to Saxon math but introduces higher level of math in younger grades and the word problems are more meatier . Its an excellent math program Here is the link to the Christian Light Families group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christianlightfamilies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 You do need to keep in mind though that it is a paper curriculum with almost no manipulatives. For some children, pictures are just fine, for others that is a problem. It would not have been a good choice for my oldest in the early grades, in fact he really did not take off at all until I switched to a curriculum with consistent use of manipulatives (RightStart). My younger one did great with CLE Math 2 this year, although we went back to the RightStart abacus several times. Just something to consider...

Frelle Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 we have used CLE Math for First and Second grades, and are starting on Third grade with my oldest. I am starting my 5 yr old out on CLE Math first grade this fall. It works really well for my oldest daughter. She has done very well and likes it a lot. I am hoping it works well for my second, too.

Tami Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I would personally use something manipulatives-based in K-3 (MUS, RightStart, Miquon) and then switch to CLE for grades 4 and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
