how long does MM 4 or 5 take your child each day?

Curious...if your child is doing Math Mammoth 4 or 5, how long does it take them each day (and how many pages do they do per day)?

My 10 yo Dd (will be 11 in June) works about 1 hour on MM5. Finishes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 pages. She does all the problems. Not a mathy kid. My daydreamer.

Mine is doing MM4, does two pages per day and probably takes an average of half an hour.

My dd finishes 2 pgs a day of MM 4 in 15-20 minutes.  Out of my kids, she is near the top in terms of math aptitude.

Mine does MM for 1.5 hours a week and finishes 9-10 pages, on average. I don't have him do all the problems as there's more practice than he needs in MM.

When my now DD10 was doing MM4 and 5, she did 3 pages btw 20-30 mins a day. Now in MM7, she does the same.

My DD does 2 pages in about 10-15 min most days. Sometimes I make her do 3-4 pages if it's really easy, but she's young, ahead of grade, and doesn't like math so I don't push.

 

Other DD also averages 2 pages a day but takes more like 30min or so. 

 

Both kids supplement with other stuff.

My dd spent about 45 minutes a day in 4th grade, for 5th she does 45 minutes-1 hour. She usually does a lesson at a time, but if she isn't done in an hour we call it and she continues the next day. Sometimes she finishes in less, but average 45.

My 9 year old does 2 pages a day of MM4 and takes about 15-30 minutes from getting it out to finishing correcting mistakes. depending on how much work per page and how much she reads the instructions/rushed through. She does most of it independently while I work with my 6 year old, some of time variation will be waiting for correction help as well and getting away with more messing around before it is her turn or getting sucked into the audio book I play in the morning. 

 

She's a "pretty good at maths but not really interested so just wants to get maths over with asap and makes mistakes because of rushing through instructions" kind of kid. We specifically moved to MM4 this year from using MEP in previous years because we wanted to spend less time on maths and give my 9 year old more control of it - my 9 year old got very frustrated with not knowing how much work was to do daily [as MEP has lessons beyond the workbook], so we've set it at 1 page front and back -- this pushes her while still seeming doable and clear cut to her. 

 

...unless it has to do with estimations. Then all time guesses are off - I have no idea why, but that is her mathematical kryptonite. We just did Estimating in Multiplication a week or so ago and it was one of those days...

About an hour for my 5th grader to do 3 pages. My 4th grader is usually done in 30-45 min with 3 pages. Next year I plan on doing 2 pages a day and a page of math review and beast academy. I'm hoping we will stay within our hour time slot.

We are using mm4, it takes both girls about 20-35 minutes to finish two full pages. If the pages aren't very full then they do three.

My nine-year-old does one lesson in MM4 per day. *I* think it should take her about half an hour, max, to get through even the longest lessons, and sometimes it does, but she's also perfectly content to sit at the table for two hours and spin out long adventures in her head, play with her fingers, etc., while she's "working."
