Guest Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Those of you that have used MM 1, how many pages did you do a day. I have been using it with my almost 6 year old, and my 7.5 year old the last month. We are only on page 33 of 1A so far, because we are taking it really slow (somedays only doing a section on a page, not the whole page). It seems like a lot of problems on each page, and I don't really feel confident picking and choosing what to cross out. At this rate I feel that we are never going to get done with grade 1. I am in no hurry with my almost 6 year old, but I am concerned that I need to move faster with my 7.5 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Maria says somewhere that they should start by doing about half the problems. If they get it, good, if they need more problems, circle back. In general I have mine do the first problem in a group, the last problem, and then alternate the ingress in-between.

mysticmomma Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I don't make them do a set number of pages. We have skipped a lot because I know she already knows things. I don't make her do all problems on a page unless she needs to in order to understand. If she gets it, move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohop Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 With my DD who just turned 6 and is in KG, we do about one page a day. I don't push her though; if she's especially unenthused, we do less than a page. Since we start MM2 in KG (did the same with my older DD), we take it slowly at first and just try to finish before the end of 1st grade. By second grade, we try to get the text done in the course of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 There is a pacing chart about halfway down the page here. http://www.mathmammoth.com/faq-lightblue.php You should average about 1.5 pages per day if you want to finish level 1 in a standard school year.

Vintage81 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 My 1st grade DD is working through MM1 now. My goal is to have her do about 2 pages each day, but that doesn't always happen. It depends on what's being taught and how well she understands it. Some things she moves through quickly, others we have to go slower. Also, as others have mentioned, I don't make her do every problem on the page (except for word problems). I'll have her do about half, and if she gets them correct, we move on. If she gets any incorrect, I have her do a few more until she understands the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WistfulRidge Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 We've used (and loved!) MM since about halfway through Mr. Inquisitive's kinder year. In K and 1st I aimed for 2 pages a day. This year, in 2nd, he does 3/day and that seems to be the sweet spot for him between not enough and overwhelming​. Like others have mentioned we don't do all the problems - I'd say on average he does between half and two thirds of the problems on a page. This takes him 25-40 minutes per day depending on difficulty and/or level of distractedness. I want to say that we averaged a solid 15-25 minutes for most of K and 1st.
