plain jane Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Has anybody here used this level? What grade would you say it was for and what program should they have used to be able to use this? I'm guessing it'll a bit easier than grade level and can/should be done in 2nd grade? Yes? No? Can a 3rd grader do this or would that put them behind state standards?

Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well, my son used TT3 at the *end* of 3rd grade and met state standards for 4th grade at the *beginning* of the next year. My second son is more advanced in math, and he used it at the end of 1st and through 2nd grade without problems. (We had done some workbooks with him previously, but not much formal math.) My third son is a natural at math and loves doing things on the computer (besides being a strong reader), and he started playing around with TT3 just before he turned 5. He had done quite a lot of educational games on the computer, but no formal math at all. He got pretty far before tanking on some of the lessons. I just erased his scores and had him start over. He is now 5 (with a birthday in August) and started on TT4 because he wants to be just like his brothers. :) All that to say, it just depends on the kid. TT3 starts out *very basic* and could be done with no prior math instruction. It speeds up fairly quickly, though. I'd say most kids could do it in 2nd grade.

AnnaM Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My younger daughter is in 1st and is using it without a problem my older is in 2nd and is also using it. Both are thriving on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Eeek. Sounds like I'll have to play around with it and see which of my kids is best suited for it. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My 8 year old just finished 3rd grade and TT3. He did great with it and I felt he was right on. He tested highly on the Stanford Achievement Test for his grade level (89th % - 9th grade) and has loved the program. It was just challenging enough without putting him over the top. He is not an overly "mathy" child, but does pick up math concepts quickly and I have no worries about him in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergooseof4 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My dd used it for 2nd. She is not mathy, but is bright..... More of a LA girl though. She did very well, but we did stop for a week when it introduced multiplication. The explanations were not enough for her to understand what multiplication really was. After working on a few pages from MM to get the concept, we moved on in TT. She did MM for 1sr grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShutterBug Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I would tend to put it at a 2nd grade level when comparing to other homeschool math curriculums. Not sure how it stacks up to public school math though.. Ds just finished 4th grade and used TT 7 this year with no problems so I would think that a 2nd grader using the 3rd grade would be fine as well :) .

paceofnature Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My daughter started it in the middle of 1st and will finish it up early 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Sylvia will probably use it along with CLE 200 for 2nd grade. Rebecca tested out of most of it after completing CLE 200. Then we tried TT 4 and had to skip tons of that too... I'm not buying any higher levels. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
