sangtarah Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 My 3rd grader would love to have a colorful math book. We tried Singapore in 1st grade, but she wasn't ready for the abstract "why" behind math at that age. We switched to Saxon, which she has learned very well from. I am pretty sure we will move her to Saxon 5/4 next year. But I thought I would get the view of the "hive". Are there any programs similar to Saxon that uses colorful workbooks/textbook? Or maybe you could recommend a fun, colorful supplement? Btw, we have the Life of Fred elementary series. She adores Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Not at all like Saxon, but if you think she could handle a more conceptual program at this point you can't get more colorful and fun than Beast Academy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Both of my kids have done so much better with Abeka math. We don't use all the supplements, but just do a lesson from the text daily. There are problems in green and if my kids are showing, through their work, that they understand, I don't make them do the green problems. It is a very straightforward math, which is GREAT for us, but it is colorful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Maybe Horizons? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshirtyogapantmama Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I second twoxcell. Horizons is very colorful. My daughter used it in elementary and was very pleased. She switched from R/S Math (black and white in textbook) to Horizon and loved it. https://www.aophomeschooling.com/horizons_overview 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
