kristin0713 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I just bumped a thread on this in middle grade challenges but I think it will get more traffic here. Any feedback on this program? I’m looking at using Principles 1 & 2 for my daughter for 7th and 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfmommy Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 We tried it with my 6th grader daughter. The math was doable for her but the lessons were too wordy for her. Her reading speed at the time was pretty slow and I wasn't able to read them to her or with her. We ended up dropping it because of the time the lessons were taking because of that. She didn't want all the history, etc - she just wanted to be shown what to do and then get it done. We read living math books and biographies as well so some of the information she had heard before. Not really a negative, I thought the information and the math was fine, just too long for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristin0713 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ahhh, I can see that exac5 scenario happening with my DD. What did you switch to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganrussell Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 My daughter used it in 6th and 7th grade. She is a non-mathy child, and she loved it. We read the lesson together, I did a few examples for her, and she would complete the lesson. She learned a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smfmommy Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ahhh, I can see that exac5 scenario happening with my DD. What did you switch to? We had backed off to doing one lesson every two days (read one day and do the problems the next) so had gotten through most of the year. We just did some online stuff, games, and read some living math books. She really balked at doing the rest of the book since I said we would need to do a lesson a day to finish it within a school year. So the next year we did MEP year 7. She liked being able to do it more independently as well as online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
