Basic Kinder Math ideas?

[training5]

I have looked at Saxon (Blech!), Horizons (so-so), and Singapore (don't get this method), and MUS (no).

I know I will be using R&S for the rest of his 1-8 grades. Should I just start with R&S1 now or wait?

I would go ahead and start with Rod and Staff and take it slowly. The worksheets are such that you could do the front one day and the back the next or if you need it to go slower you can break it down even more than that.

Good luck!:001_smile:

I agree with the pp that starting with RS1 might be a good way to go if you are planning to use it anyway. If you want enrichment or hands-on activities you might think about the Critical thinking companies mathematical reasoning books and hands-on thinking skills. These materials are fun and high quality. I would use ithemonly as a supplement though but that is just my opinion. I hope this helps.
