Help! Switching curriculum as a 5th grader


Recommended Posts

My daughter will be in 5th grade this year. We have used and liked Horizons Math since 3rd grade. We are looking at going to MCP math this year. The Scope and Sequence look almost identical. The reason for the switch is the TM. I am a "math" person. It just makes sense. When we get to a new concept and she struggles at all, I am terrible with explaining it in a different way ( because to me, it just makes sense!) and the Horizons TM is terrible. The MCP TM looked more user friendly. Has anyone made this transition before and how do the two programs compare?

 

We are also looking at doing all other subjects as Rod & Staff. We have never used them before, so any comments there are welcome, too. In the past we have used Horizons, IEW, Shurley English, MOH, Apologia Science and Bridge to Latin Road.

 

Thanks!

I would hesitate to use all of R&S's curriculum.  I think that could make for a very long year.  People love their English program and I have heard positive comments about the spelling from some. Oh, and I love R&S Math!  I used levels 1 - 6 with my son.  He is one that needed more explanation, review and practice, so it was a great fit.  I would pull their best stuff and then mix things up with other materials for some variety.
