vwsmith Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 For my son's first grade year we used Singapore Math 1A/1B Standards Edition. However, during this time I was introduced to Strayer Upton Practical Arithmetic and think I'm in love :wub: Anyway, I realize SU doesn't begin till 3rd grade so here is my question: What do I do until then? Do I continue on with Singapore 2A/2B for 2nd grade? Do I go ahead and start with SU in 2nd and just take it slowly? Or perhaps go sans any formal math curriculum and review math facts this year as needed then pick up with SU in third? Also, for those who use SU, what do you follow/plan to follow it with when moving into higher math? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 SU reviews grades 1 and 2 math because it was written when some schools did not teach textbook math until 3rd grade. I have a moldy copy of the grade 1-2 book. Many of the pages are identical to the grade 3-4 book. You could start the early 3rd grade pages or do what schools often did then. Download the Simply Charlotte Mason math pdf for $10.95. I think you will really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I would just start it, that way you can go a little slower on the pages with huge numbers of problems to solve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in MS Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hunter, I have never seen a SU book for grades 1 and 2. Do they still sell it? Just wondering. Vwsmith, I agree with Amy, you could take it very slowly. I would also suggest you work on those facts, as you mentioned, at the same time.
