Michelle T Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I have a DS who is severely delayed in math due to LD's. We are currently working our painful way through long division and multiplying with double digits. Once that is mastered, I'm contemplating using the Key to series for fractions, decimals, percentages, measurement. Questions - do you do book 1 in each subject, then go and do book 2 in each subject, etc; or do you do all four of the fraction books, then all four of the decimal books, etc.? What order would you do the topics, or does it matter? I'm thinking of decimals, then fractions, then percentages. Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchfire Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We haven't gone through all of them, but I do own them and have looked through them. I would do fractions first, then decimals, then percents. The second book in measurements uses some fractions material, so I would not do it until after fractions was completed. I'm planning to have dd work through metric measurement after she's finished decimals, but not necessarily after percents - we'll just have to see where we're at with everything else. HTH!

Bee Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We did fractions, decimals and now percents. I thought some of the measurement books were too thorough. Now that I've used them I would spread those out over a couple of years so some concepts in the last book would have been covered in a higher grade. Some people do 1 book in all subjects before moving on to book 2 but I had dd complete each series before moving on to the next. You do need to know fractions before doing decimals and both decimals and fractions before doing percents. So if you took the first route and did 1 book from each series before moving on to book 2, I'd do them in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
