Aiden Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We're almost through Math-U-See primer (lesson 22 of 30). I intend to start either Singapore or Math Mammoth level 1 with my daughter in the fall. I do not want to start either of those before this fall. However, I also do not want to take a complete break from formal(ish) math this summer. I'm thinking that I'll order a couple of Kumon workbooks for skills my daughter will find fun (one with math games like dot to dots, one on money). I'll also order at least the first Life of Fred book to see if she likes that format as a supplemental math for continued use. Because of our funding situation, I need to order all of my summer supplies before April, but I'm not sure how long it typically takes to get through a LOF book. If we do it on average 3 times a week (more if she truly loves it) from June through August, would I need to order more than just the first book? (My daughter is doing well in math--she obviously struggles with a concept at first but usually gets it after doing just 2 or 3 practice problems. If she goes a while without working another similar problem, though, we have to start from scratch. She'll turn 6 this summer. Just in case any of that affects your recommendation.)

KathyBC Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The website says each book contains 19 lessons and takes approximately one month to complete. If you're working on it 3x week it would take more like 6-7 weeks. If it were me, I would order the first three books, just in case. YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It depends. I made a workbook to stretch out each chapter of Fred over a week. One day reading, 2-3 workbook pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3girls Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I would order 2-3 books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
