praisefor3 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 do you do formal math instruction/curriculum with your 4th - 6th grade dc (during your school year)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 5 days a week here with all my children. though we do split the Saxon lessons up over 2 days. half 1 day and the other half the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 We started using Analytical Grammar in 6th grade last year. For 10 weeks, we did grammar 5x/wk. That is the only subject I have ever done 5x/wk. This year, AG is 4x/wk for 7 weeks. I've always worked part-time and rarely have the luxury of doing anything 5x/wk. We do each subject either 1, 2, or 3x/wk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetTN Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 We do school 5 days a week unless something comes up that we need to work around, or just need a break. I love the flexibility of homeschooling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningirl71 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 We do math 4 days a week. Although I push dd in math, it isn't her favorite subject. So, she works hard on her lessons 4 days and then gets a day off. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy in ME Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I work on Friday so, although they do math on Friday, I can't really call it formal instruction because the work on their own on a review sheet on any unfinished work from the week.

MomOfOneFunOne Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Math is the only subject we do formally 5x/wk. Other subjects we do 5x/wk are projects, experiments, reading, review on Fridays but for Math, formal lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisawa Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 do you do formal math instruction/curriculum with your 4th - 6th grade dc (during your school year)? 5 days a week. Math is one of those core subjects that I feel need to be done every day. Saxon math we have always done odd or even numbers for a lesson. If they miss more than 2 they do the other half the next day, if they get it, they move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Math, Grammar, Spelling and Lit all get priority here. These are the subjects we do "no matter what" each of a 5 day school week. Other subjects tend to fall in place just behind these as far as priority. Occasionally, we do skip a day because we have too many other things to do, but then, we really are just taking a free day altogether at that point. But usually, we get these subs done first thing in the morning and it generally takes until lunchtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siloam Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 do you do formal math instruction/curriculum with your 4th - 6th grade dc (during your school year)? I voted 4 days a week, but felt the need to clarify that we hs year around, so it would probably be closer to 5 days a week on a traditional schedule.

Mosaicmind Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 We use Saxon and TT. We do math 5 days a week and that includes the lesson and facts practice tests for Saxon. I do give them 1 day off after completing a test and passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testimony Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 5 days a week. Math is one of those core subjects that I feel need to be done every day. Ditto! We do Singapore Math Monday-Friday. Even on outings and field trip days. We do math before we leave. Other subjects, you can do on the road like reading or listening to Latin CDs, but they need the time to concentrate on math.

momof3gifts Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 and it is the one subject that we don't completely drop during the summer. We don't do it daily in the summer but we keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 My two older girls did their math independently by 4th grade. They came to me only when they didn't understand and that wasn't very often. I went over math with them daily, but I didn't "teach" it unless they didn't understand it. My youngest is going into 5th grade this year. She still gets daily math instruction. She does not learn independently like my two older girls.
