thundersweet Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you are using this as a supplement, how do you use it? Do you do a chapter a day? Once a week in place of your reg math program? Just curious. I have had LOF fractions sitting on my shelf forever. I just never get to it! Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef03 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We just do one chapter at a time as a bedtime story. We're doing the elementary books, I'm not sure if chapters in Fractions take longer to get through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplecat Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We do Singapore 4 days a week and LOF on Fridays. Last summer, we did LOF daily and really enjoyed ourselves. I'm planning on doing the same this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We do it randomly as a treat about three times per week. We do between one and three chapters depending on how interested ds is that day. We do it separately from school time and so far he hasn't realized it's schoolwork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFM Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My son loves to read it everyday at the end of our time for math. He loves to "play" too and try the problems. So, we do it daily. It's pretty easy to get through we do popcorn reading together and then he solves the problems. It works. We use Singapore as our "spine".

Dory Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We do MM 4 days a week and LoF on Fridays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelmama1209 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 we do the elem series "daily" (in addition to mm). my original plan was on fridays, but dd7 loves it so much we just added it in to our school reading. i always do 1 chapter, but if she wants to do more, i'm okay with that. we're still "behind" in it (dd is in 2nd and we're in the first book) so it may slow down as we move along. this week she's been wanting 3 chapters a day, sometimes just picking it up and reading it on her own.

boscopup Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't really schedule it. Sometimes it's an extra in the afternoon (after doing our regular math). Sometimes it's a Friday thing. Sometimes we don't do it for weeks. Really, it's whenever he feels like it (he's almost done with Fractions, but hasn't worked on it in a couple months). I do the elementary series daily with DS2, but it's easier, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundersweet Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks! I think I'll try doing if on Mondays. We don't usually do much on Monday since dh us off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We're using it as our main math, so we do anywhere from 2-4 chapters a day. This is review work for the main part, at the moment, so we might slow down to 1-2 chapters a day when we get more advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 i do a chapter a day. My younger one did fractions (and some of decimals) but we switch things around all the time for him. LOF is as close to a regular curriculum as he's used for math since 1st grade. My older one did LOF beg algebra as a review between the 2nd and 3rd year of the singapore math upper level books.

Chrysalis Academy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 With the Elementary series, we did ~ 3 chapters per day, after we had completed our MM lesson (reward for doing math - more math! yay!). With Fractions, and now Decimals, it's her independent math, so she does it on Fridays when I work, and sometimes another day during the week if I need to work, along with Khan Academy. Usually she does 2 chapters, or a chapter plus a bridge, and then some Khan for a total of an hour of math on her indie days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclecticschooler Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We vary how often we do it based on the individual child' development and progress with math. We use it as a supplement. As an average, we probably do it every other day but right now we are doing it every day because we are moving through pre-algebra w/economics and it seems to be the right pace right now for dd.
