Bee Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am using it for 2nd grade.I really like how it focuses so much on drill of basic math facts for addition and subtraction.I've heard that the 3rd grade book is hardcover which doesn't thrill me so much though I guess I could have dd write the answers in the book.I really want a 3rd grade program for next year that focuses on learning multiplication and then division for 4th grade.I'd love something that was in workbook format.Anything like that out there?I've decided that I really would prefer to use a program that focuses on a few skills at a time rather than one that switches to a different concept every chapter.Thanks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveBaby Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm still looking, but I think we'll switch my DD to CLE for math next year. It's workbook format, has plenty of drill built into the lesson and as far as I can tell, it's really written to the student which (hopefully) will make it a more independent subject. you can check it out at www.clp.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeinfl Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 the same thing as well. I have the R&S math 3, but I am thinking of Math U See as well. I am interested in the replies to your question... CLE is also an option, but it's more spiral than Math u See and I think we need another year or two of mastery before we go into a spiral program. Can't wait to read these replies... Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well, my son is using 2 math programs this year and one of them is R&S 3. I consider the other program our primary math program, but it does not take him long to do R&S so I have him do R&S for the drill. What I did with the 3rd grade book was simply tear the binding off of it. Then I just pull out the lesson he is supposed to do each day and he writes directly on it. This has worked out great for us.

Jules Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 We are doing the R and S Math 3 this year and I am having my son just write in the student book. It is working out just fine. Their prices are resonable enough to be able to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millions of us managed to get through school without a single workbook and lived to tell about it.:D You teach your dc to take her notebook paper and fold it on a line; then she puts the paper on the textbook page, right below the row of problems she's working on, and just writes the answer. Easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
