We have finished 2 weeks of school and it is time for our first adjustment. No bad, I think!
Ds#1 is going to move from M.E.P. year 4 to year 3.
Math has been taking him a long time to complete. Math-U-See taught him well how to do multiplication and division algorithms but not much about why, or number patterns. I can see he does mental math far better than he did last year, yet he is still getting used to the new and varied ways M.E.P. presents materials.
The moderators at the MEP-homeschoolers Yahoo group posted an interesting fact; a child that has mastered the material through year 6 is prepared for U.S. high school math!
Looking through the year 3 material, I see fractions are introduced during week 3--right where we will start on Monday.
