What to use between RS A and B?

[Tonia]

I need to use something to fill up some time between finishing RS A and starting RS B. I'm not ready to move my dd into RS B when she's finished A so I want to find a workbook that she can use for a few months (and she BEGS for math, so I've got to use something).

I was thinking of using Horizons K book 2 but I've only seen a few samples and can't tell if it is appropriate. Would it be too much or not enough for a child who has completed RS A? Any thoughts?

If she likes the RS games, I'd be inclined just to play some of them each day.

We play the games a lot! :D I just think she will be too young for RS B so I want to take a break between levels.

The Miquon books are pretty neat and might appeal to a RS student. She'd be using cuisennaire rods. The first one (I think it's red) would be appropriate for her level.

I would also consider Singapore.

How about Singapore Standards edition K? I combine RS math w/ Singapore K for my newly-turned 5 year old. I use the texbook & workbook, but you could definitely get away with just the workbook. It's cheap, good and fun.

Primary Challenge Math by Zaccaro
sudoku (board game from timberdoodle or books, puzzles from the newspaper, etc.)
the singapore math computer games (I haven't used them, but they'd probably be a good fit) It's good to bust out of the mold and do some things on computer like Zoombinis, Fritz & Chesster, etc.
Flashmaster
Abeka Tests and Speed Drills (to get her facts fast)

I'd go ahead and let her start B and be done with it. She obviously wants to, and if she slows down, you'll be responsive. A lot of B can be done with the manipulatives, broken into shorter amounts (just a few problems a day, spreading one lesson over a week), or done with minimal writing. It's 4 digit addition, but it's NOT hard the way it's presented. The grids for writing their answers are great for beginning writers. I'd just let her move on, personally. :)
