Elfknitter.# Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 My ds is currently doing MM 1B and my dd is working on 2A. Ds understands math facts more quickly and easily than dd. Could I have both of them simultaneously work on MEP Y2 or might it accelerate too quickly for ds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nansk Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes, I think so. MM Y2 focusses mostly on addition and subtraction to the hundreds. Multiplication is introduced only in one chapter towards the end. MEP Y2 has addition and subtraction to the tens only. The focus is on multiplication and division. So yes, I think your two students can start MEP Y2 together. Waiting for more people to chime in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ummto4 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Warning !! MEP year 1 has unique problems (some geometry and 'balancing/<,>,=' problems) which are NOT in MM 1 and MM 2. Before going to year 2 of MEP, I suggest you to backtrack a bit to MEP 1A to introduce your dc to those concepts. Also, MEP 1B teaches teen addition/subtr (going over 10) which is not taught in MM 1. In my experience, it's easier to teach teen addition/subtraction using MM 2A (if I remember this correctly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfknitter.# Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Maybe it's because ds has a better concept of math basics than dd or it's the gradual introduction of MEP , but so far this hasn't been an issue. Granted, we are about to start week 2 of 2A.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
