Emba Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) I've decided to start my DD on Rod and Staff Math 5 for 5th grade. It's likely that she will want to go back to public school for 6th, though, so I want to cover everything that public school would cover, and for that, the Rod and Staff Book is light on geometry (I printed out the state standards to compare). I am looking for recommendations/ideas for supplementing. So far I've come up with Math Mammoth or Kumon workbooks. We've been doing Math Mammoth, and TBH, I'd rather try another program, though I won't rule it out entirely. Does anyone have experience with the Kumon workbooks? Do they teach, or are they just worksheets? What are the options out there that I haven't been able to find?

Emba Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Also, I've been thinking about buying some Life of Fred books - not for geometry, just for extra ways of presenting the material. Is it really necessary to start with Apples? Because I don't want to buy more than a couple, and if I start with Apples I don't think we'll cover much (anything?) that would be new.
