paulcindy Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Has anyone used any of these? As either a supplement or as a full Math? Specifically elementary years?;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiller Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I haven't used Ray's but looking at some samples it looks a lot like Practical Arithmetic which I have used for elementary math for my youngest. I really liked it because it didn't have lots of color (which totally distracted my son even though he said he liked it) AND it covered everything in units. By that I mean my son was immersed in a new concept until he understood it and could do the problems without thinking. I also like the old fashioned way of wording the word problems. . . there were some that really made my ds think! Anyway, for elementary years I think the foundation was laid well with this kind of math program. JMHO, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulcindy Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 You know, I was looking at this as well. The Strayor-Upton Practical Math. I wish there were samples somewhere. I have searched, but only gives a description of them. I think I might like these much better. Are there solutions, or only an AK in the back of the book? And did you use the books to Grade 8?? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAberlin Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have practical arithmetic book 1 for sale on the swap board as well as a set of Ray's arithmetic. I'm selling them for my mother who also homeschools, so I haven't used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
