Hello,
I have a friend looking for math curriculum for his daughter, approximately 2nd or 3rd grade level. Since my child is much younger I have no idea what to suggest. Could someone direct me towards some good material? Many thanks!

If he's looking for something very traditional, Mott Media publishes a math curriculum called "Ray's Arithmetic Series". It's been around since 1897 and was once used in the one-room schoolhouses. It's very affordable, classic, and thorough. Here is the link:

Good Luck,

| We love Singapore math, and it's fairly inexpensive but nice colorful books. Here's a link http://www.sgbox.com. |

| Ty Singapore math. It's some of the best stuff out there for mathematical thinking (as opposed to algorithm memorization) and will help her when she reaches algebra and beyond. |

| We use Horizens for our daughter (K) and she's thriving. It's the only thing we've ever used and it is extremely progressive. I've heard about Singapore math and will be looking into it myself. Good Luck! |

I'm using Ray's Arithmatic for my 7 yr. old. The teacher's guide written by Ruth Beechick really helps to know how to use the books. For manipulatives, we just use what's on hand- beans, legos, dominos, whatever. There are many ideas for games to play. It's up to you to make up sheets of problems if you want your kid to do that, but there are online sites where you can print them out free:

You'd also have to make up your own lesson plans if you use Ray's. The teacher's guide gives a shell lesson plan and you just fill it in. If you want everything already done for you, though, you might want something else. I like the freedom of tailoring it to each specific child (I've got 3 more) without feeling like I've wasted my money paying for someone else to do it for me and then not doing it that way. If I were not already using something I was happy with, I'd probaby use Math-U-See.
Good Luck! |
