Daughter almost 10 yo placing at 1B Singapore Math

[kvest]

Hi, we are 1st time homeschoolers. One of the many reasons we chose to do so is because my daughter passed math with a 70 in 3rd grade & was failing 4th when we pulled her. I am very strong in math (accountant), but she thinks very differently. Singapore Math is top notch IMO, but I will need some help getting her to the level of working through multi-step word problems. Right now, she does not know how to tell time, count money, perform measurements...we are going back to the basics! I know Carrie scheduled activities to go along with levels 1 & 2...is there a way to purchase just those resources? My daughter (& her twin brother) are too advanced in other areas to go below Preparing. We will begin Preparing July.

Thanks for your help!

I know Beyond has SM 1 and Bigger has SM2 activities in it. I wasn't able to purchase Bigger manual this last year to go along with us but I was able to get the Home Instructor guide which is a great resource and can usually be found for cheap used also. There are tons of activities in it that you could use.
