NikkiMarieLG Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 This year I started with RS and he loved it but I panicked around December that he was not moving fast enough and switched to CLE. I supplement with MM. Now I am in a tizzy that I am doing him a disservice regarding his mental math progress. I could care less if a program is religious or not as long as he is not being held back and I am able to teach him. The boy carries around a calculator for fun in case he thinks up a multiplication problem he might want to know... he is 7. And I ave not even LOOKED at SM but from what I'm reading maybe I should. I am a but overwhelmed!:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If CLE is working for him, just use the MM mental math pages to work that in. It's very similar to the mental math used in Singapore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singapore Challenging Word Problems is an inexpensive book that doesn't take much time, if you want to include more mental and challenging problems. I am not familiar with MM, but perhaps that is already filling in just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiMarieLG Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm feeling like his educational:tongue_smilie: future rests on this one decision! Probably because I am not very good at math MYSELF and he ADORES IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
