butterfly113 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Do you supplement Singapore Math? With what? Please share! :bigear: I'm all ears! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I mentioned this in your fractions thread--we supplement with Horizons. I think the breadth of problems and the review in Horizons will help my dc be prepared for the testing that we have to do in this state. I cross out a lot of it to keep the work load manageable (and I cross out problems that drive me crazy--like teaching a fraction shortcut before the real method has been learned.) Singapore is our primary program--I really appreciate how it develops mathematical thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 We use SM text book, work book and topical problem sums/challenging word problems. The only supplementation that we do is a drill programme to increase calculation speed in about third/fourth grade. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 We use the CWP and Intensive Practice workbooks. My dc are also using the Key to...series independently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright_Future Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 In the beginning (PK-1) we supplemented with Scott Foresman and then Horizons, basically to ensure drill and repetition. Now (gr2-3) we use IP and CWP as the drills are ingrained now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Only if there is a specific topic that is causing an issue. Time did for us last year, so I got the Mammoth Math Clock unit and worked on it. Needed more drill for math facts---Timez Attack and Math Windows cards. In general we use the textbook, workbook and Challenging Word Problems ( a level behind). We switched to the standards edition this year---in level 3B now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabd22 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 For my 2nd grader, we use Horizons in combination with SM. They seem to go together well. For my 4th grader, I am just using SM. This year she has completed 3a, 3b and is nearly done with 4a. We tried supplementing with BJU, but she really enjoys SM. I decided to just stick with that.

langfam Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Been using S'p/Horizons combo for a couple of years now.. So far, they work well together. We do Horizons 3 and Singapore 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Only with IP, EP, and CWP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We use all of Singapore--TB, WB, CWP, IP. I have supplemented with a fractions workbook from a school supply store when my 8 yo had a bit of trouble with fractions. Being comfortable with manipulating fractions is so important, but the workbook cured her, and she's now the self-proclaimed Fraction Queen. She just did one random page out of the workbook every day for a few weeks. Of course, I wouldn't dream of teaching the multiplication tables without Times Tales. We spend a lot of time in the car, so we do mental math exercises in the car to ease my guilt, but I don't think that counts as a supplement.
