Evan Moore Daily Math to supplement SM?

[dmmm]

My dd is doing SM 5a right now, and while she is getting it, she forgets as we move along.  I have made my own reviews daily for her, but I would love something that is done.

 

Does anyone use Evan Moore Daily Math as a spiral refresher?  Is there anything else that is better?

 

Thanks.

I don't have experience with that resource, but we added in Math Buddy Question of the day, which is free review in word problem form. Usually we do two grades, one that is pure review, one a level up that stretches her a bit.

Are you using any other Singapore materials besides the texts and workbooks?  If you aren't using them already Singapore has a number of other items you could use for review.

SM has Extra Practice, Intensive Practice and Tests books in addition to the Challenging Word Problems. I recommend that you use those as supplements instead of Evan Moore. There is also an SM series called "Visible Thinking in MAth" which looked interesting and I am trying it out this year.

I use/have used the supplements from Singapore and it isn't what she needs or I want. What I am looking for is a few "warm ups" that are just a few questions that go over stuff that she has already learned. So right now we are dividing fractions, but I would like something that has her doing a LCD, factorization, multiplying decimals, negative numbers, and a graph for instance, each day to keep her skills sharp.

 

I haven't used IP in awhile, but if I remember, it just went along with what you were learning. We do plenty of word problems, so I don't need more of those.

 

The Visible Thinking in Math looks great, but it is sold out and it isn't what I am looking for for this issue. I would love to know more about it though!!!

My DS needs the same type of daily review. We use Math Minutes. Ten problems on a page, intended to be done one page per day as a warmup, although I don't set a time limit for him. Every problem on the page covers a different concept, spiraling through all the concepts typically taught at each grade level. (BTW, for ease in grading, each workbook has the answer key in the back, and I just tear it out.)

 

Here's a link to Math Minutes 5.

In addition to SM, we also use Math Minutes, along with a Daily Math Warmups from Carson Dellosa.   I also toss in Math Mammoth.

We don't use Singapore, but younger DD does do Evan-Moor Daily Math Practice and Daily Word Problems before her regular math program.  She loves it!  It takes less than 10 minutes total (for both), and is a quick, painless way to wake up her brain and reinforce old topics :)
