Little Green Leaves Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I'm using Miquon with my first grader and I love it. It seems to really suit her, too. She's almost done with their first grade workbooks. Now I'd like to find something to do with her to supplement it. I'm thinking something we can do a few days a week over the summer. I know we can just go on to the next Miquon book but I'd like to see what else is out there too. My son uses Singapore math and Beast Academy and loves both, but Singapore really didn't interest my daughter. She seems to do really well with hands-on stuff. I am thinking to do little projects with her but I'd also love to have a book too. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Maybe something like the Bridges Math practice books? https://www.mathlearningcenter.org/resources/lessons/practice-books They are more activity/discovery oriented, and free for the printing.

lulalu Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The Gattegno books are free to read online and use c-rods. We have finished book 1 and are in book 2. I really like how it fits well with Miquon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 How about the Right Start games? Or just a bunch of math games? Or how about using some of the ideas in Let's Play Math by Denise Gaskins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is not usually wild about games, especially when they're educational (except, for some reason, Scrabble -- she has always refused chutes and ladders, cards, etc but is happy to play Scrabble). But she is still so little and she's changing and developing all the time. So it's worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved Corners and played it constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The only thing that I would add to Miquon is something to help learn basic math facts. Otherwise, Miquon is enough, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
