Singapore Math with HOD

Post by butterfly113 » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:03 am

I have noticed that HOD recommends Singapore Math. However, most people I have spoken with do Singapore 5 days a week. With HOD being 4 days per week, how does that work out??? :roll: :?
Are the lessons for Singapore laid out daily in HOD, so that you know which lesson to do on what days... 4 days per week? Are things skipped, or doubled up... can someone enlighten me as to how this works out??? :? :roll:
Also, we would be using Preparing Hearts and probably start in 4A or 4B Singapore.
Thanks

I am doing Singapore Math in LHFGH, and we only do school at home 4 days a week. We just double up on one day, or sometimes we finish up over the weekend. But mostly we just double up, but I am not sure this is really working out. because my DS seems to have a hard time on Monday getting back into math. We take Fridays off for our CO-OP.

I will be watching this thread for other advice.

I don't have the Preparing... manual in front of me at the moment, so I can't say exactly how it's scheduled in the book. However, Carrie does have a schedule for Math in the Appendix of her manuals. I can tell you that in our house we do math every day, just because that's how DH and I decided to do it. We follow the schedule as far as what to do, but we are ahead in math compared to everything else because we do it even if it's not scheduled. Plus, my dc have wanted to work ahead some so I've let them. Hopefully others will come along and answer your questions more thoroughly. :?

I recently received the Preparing Manual. In the appendix Math 2 A&B and 3 A&B are scheduled for 5 days a week. Math 4 A&B are scheduled 4 day a week. So no 5th day for you!!!! :D
