rachelpants Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 DS finished RSC 2nd Ed last year and I'm having the hardest time getting D done this year. I have a new baby and just less time to teach math this year. (and admittedly less interest in teaching it as well) I'm wondering if anyone has advice about switching to Math Mammoth?

ScoutTN Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 We did it. RS A-C and went right to MM 3 this year. My Ds is enjoying the mastery approach and the more incremental teaching. We worked on bar models today I love how she teaches them. RS was good but too spiral and made too many jumps that my Ds couldn't follow. MM also has more practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelpants Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Thanks so much! Did you use the 2nd edition? I think the review questions at the beginning of the RS lessons were good for DS. Is there a way to add spiral review to Math Mammoth?

ScoutTN Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yes, we did use the 2nd edition. I am using wrap-ups, Math Minutes ( which so far are very easy) and RS games for review. MM is not self-teaching for Ds. I actively teach and sit with him through every lesson. We still use the abacus too. My Dd switched after RS E into MM 5 and is largely independent. Different kids...
