Our choice for mathematics ...

Posted in Curriculum Choices

We purchased Calculadder's MasterPak 1 and MasterPak 2 on CD-ROM from Rock Solid.  They had the best price, including shipping.  Our shipment arrived today!!  I didn't expect it just yet as they have a notation on their site that shipping might be slow during this time of year.

MasterPak 1 includes CalcuLadders 1-3 in their entirety and also includes their penmanship course called ReadyWriter.  MasterPak 2 includes CalcuLadders 4-6 and the AlphaBetter dictionary skills course.

I love the idea of printing daily math worksheets that are designed to be completed quickly.  If a child hits a rough spot, I'm sure I can pull together different resources to shore them up in the weak areas.  I expect we may use some of the Key To series for this purpose, on the recommendation of Mrs. OreoSouza.   My hope is that this approach can take us right up to Saxon's Algebra 1/2 and we'll go from there.

Now if I could only locate the box containing my printer cables ...

It's great to see you back to blogging. *Ü*

Sounds like you have a good math plan.
I was wondering, though, if you've ever heard of Teaching Textbooks. You may find them worth checking out. They're at teachingtextbooks.com

Have a blessed weekend.

Thanks for mentioning Teaching Textbooks, Christina.

I've heard good things about T.T. but haven't actually seen a sample myself. Are you using it? Is it working well for you? If you blog about it, please pop over here and post a comment with a link so other folks can read, too! :o)
