mom2att Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Questions pertaining to the investigations do appear on the tests, so yes. I don't like the investigations and wish they would just make them a regular lesson, but yes, we do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes, always. The info will be on the tests. My son also really enjoys them because they are a break from the norm and hands on. However, we do not answer all the questions. Some of them are so inane. And, we do most of the questions orally whenever feasible. This way, they are fun!

julie4 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes, we do them all. My son likes them too. And as others have said the material will come up in the review problems and tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxy Roller Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 My son does all the questions in the lessons, investigations and tests. We only do the drills that are associated with the tests, so that I can keep an eye on his basic math facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks all! We went ahead and did our second investigation today and my dd enjoyed it, so I'm glad I sucked it up and did it with her. I had her answer the questions orally after doing the activities, so that made it go very quickly. I haven't even considered skipping anything else in the program. I just hate hands on activities and often find them to be a waste of time. Not so, in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
