chasingbutterflies Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Is it possible or wise to start the rightstart math program if my kids are older (4th grade)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Older dd started about 3rd or 4th. We used Transitions, and then used Level D. From there we went through the rest of the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasingbutterflies Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 How is the transitions used? I didn't see it explained on the website - maybe I missed where it was mentioned. Older dd started about 3rd or 4th. We used Transitions, and then used Level D. From there we went through the rest of the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waa510 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The Transition lessons are used as a kind of 'crash course' in the way the material from the previous levels was introduced. It's material your kid already knows, like adding and subtracting, but taught the 'RS way' with some of the terms or strategies they should be familiar with before moving forward. If you were jumping into D, I believe you do the first 35 (???) lessons in the book, and then move into the appropriate level. It's written above the table of contents clearly, ' If starting in Level D, complete lessons X through Y.' The website has an awesomely accurate placement test for kids jumping into the program as well. If jumping into D, your kid would have E and G in the series left to do, so not a complete waste IMO.
