Math question?

My 12 year old used AWOA and ANWOA. We both loved it very much but I have switched to HOD for my 9 year old and 7 yr old twins. My problem with LA is that it is not complete. It takes about 4 years for each book to appear and while I really love it, I don't have that much time to wait for them. Carr...

6th grader is using CLE math 7 and Life of Fred. 3rd grader is in CLE math 4 and 1st grade twins are in CLE math 2. CLE has been a huge hit with my twins. They love the speed drills and I wake up in the morning sometimes, and they have already done math. The workbook format has been great. My 3rd gr...

WOW!! It looks so good :) . It is a good thing I started my 9 year old in Bigger, he would have freaked out with that amount of work. By the time we finish Bigger, he will definitely be ready. :wink:

We only did lesson one in Bigger. I am so excited about it, but my 9 yr old ds is not so sure :( . He loves workbooks and he is not exactly thrilled about this new curriculum. We started Ben and Me for storytime, and he loved that though. We have a full week next week so we will see how it goes :) ....

Thanks for the warm welcome

I have been reading all the testimonies about DITHOR and I think I will give it a try. I will get it for August when we start our new school year. I have a few questions though. If I understand it correctly, it is not specific to any set of books. And it is kind of like the storytime questions in Bi...
