What Level of MUS..

[Marsha]

Is your 6th grader doing?

[Marie in Oh]

Most who do a level a year would be in Zeta. Jumping in in the middle can be tricky, though they do have placement tests on their website. Delta covers division, Epsilon Fractions and Zeta decimals. My 4th grader will finish the year somewhere in the first half of Epsilon.

My 6th grade DS is working in Epsilon right now, and may even start Zeta before the year is out. We jumped in last year using Delta.

... which covers gr. 4,5,6 material. We started it with a 5th grade math struggler. We then went on with the new MUS levels -- but since he was still a little shaky in math, we backed up in the new MUS levels to give him more practice/confidence. Our MUS schedule looked like this:

5th gr. = MUS, all of old "Intermediate"
6th gr. = MUS, all of Delta (9 weeks); all of Epsilon (18 weeks); 1/3rd of Zeta (9 weeks)
7th gr. = MUS, backed up and did all of Zeta; supplemented with Singapore
8th gr. = MUS, doing all of Pre-Algebra; supplementing with Singapore and Keys To... series
9th gr. = he will do MUS Algebra, supplemented with Jacobs Algebra


Perhaps consider starting with MUS old Intermediate as review for the first 9 weeks, and then go deeper into decimals and percents (the usual topics for grade 6 math) with Zeta?? Best of luck in placing you child! Warmly, Lori D.

and I didn't want to rush him. It looks like we may finish early; if so, we'll begin Zeta right away.

Right now we are just starting Epsilon and he is in 5th. Next year I think we will be finishing Epsilon and starting Zeta. We started MUS in second grade but spent 18 months in Delta (long division really through ds for a loop).

[Sue in St Pete]

We've been with MUS since K. I have a degree in math. Ds picks it up quickly.

[Pat in MI]

My sixth grader is midway through Delta. Math is not his thing so we are taking it slower. I want him to have a good base in the basics.
Blessings,
Pat

We've been with MUS since 1st grade. My 6th grader is doing Zeta. If it was up to him he would be further. Math is his strong point but it is not mine. So to make sure he gets it, we take a little longer then he likes. But it's my way to make sure he is better in math then me. :o
