kfeusse Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Like Saxon or other math programs. Do they feel they aren't needed? My son is starting MUS Gamma this fall...and I would think drill sheets would be helpful in learning mult. facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinahYeteirah Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm not that familiar with MUS, but Singapore doesn't have math fact drill either. With Singapore I think the idea is to focus on conceptual understanding, rather than just rote memorization. Games and other activities are suggested as ways of repeatedly working with the numbers so that quick recall is eventually achieved. There are, of course, lots of other things you can add to a program if you want more drill, like flash cards, worksheets printed from online sources, games, and computer programs.

BatmansWife Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think MUS has online worksheets to print. But, I don't know what they are....if they are for drill or not. You could always get CalcuLadder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdkidsmom Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 They also have an online drill page for kiddos to practice their facts. It is under the tab e-sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) We didn't use drill sheets in Gamma. I had a set of Wrap-ups and for fun we used the Brownie Math Toys and Thinkin' Logs. Oh, and when those got tiring I made our own cards for Sorry with math equations on them that had to be solved in order to move. And Memory math-up cards (equation on one, answer on the other), and pick up sticks. Edited July 2, 2012 by Lily_Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 We use MUS and I supplement daily drill with Calculadder & xtramath.org. If there's a certain lesson that's taking them longer to master, I print more sheets (and they are like drill sheets) from MUS's website.
