Cornerstone Classical Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 and you didn't want to start 3rd grade math until August. What would you do for the rest of the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mktkcb Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 No question....I'd give him the Singapore math placement test, get the appropriate level book (cheap), and go at it for the rest of the year. He'll get a different perspective on math, and some excellent thinking and problem solving skills. JMO. Kayleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdogs29906 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yeah, my vote would be to grab something cheap for a different point of view. But, I like to mix things up now and then anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I second Singapore. Do the placement test and get the textbook, IP and Challenging Word Problems for whatever level the child places into. It won't be just more of the same workbook type stuff you can pick up at Costco or from other typical textbook publishers. It'll introduce him to a different way of thinking about math! Even if you don't continue it after the summer, the exposure will make a difference! Have fun! yvonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
