We started with Saxon math and while I do think it is okay, there is a ton of review in it, which is good for my 1st grader and the way he learns but my third grader get bored easily and then tunes out. I am currently trying to ease into more FRED and less drill and kill with him. The stories are engaging and I like the idea of learning WHY we do math and how we use it in our everyday life. I love the thermometers! Excellent idea!!!!

I appreciate ...Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate you taking the time out to let me know what you think! We enjoy Life of Fred very much, so you can count on future lessons following through at least all the Elementary series. I am humbled to get such great feedback from a math teacher. The Lesson for chapter 5 will be coming soon. I teach my 4 children together and they are all at different levels, so the workbook style doesn't work for us. Life of Fred allows me to teach all my children at one time and allows them to learn at their own pace. It has been a blessing to us. We supplement with IXL and Khan Academy. I'm sure you already know about them but for others than may read this I will explain. IXL is drill but it's presented in a fun way and is online. My children enjoy doing computer lessons and I enjoy this time when I am hands free to do my lesson planning. Khan Academy has drill as well with the practice sessions, but it also provides online lesson videos. Khan Academy is a free resource while IXL is paid. Again I want to thank you for taking the time to comment.MOM 24/7https://www.blogger.com/profile/12504121710510514412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739525571542653753.post-39865167646335491782012-12-14T15:24:12.404-08:002012-12-14T15:24:12.404-08:00This is fantastic!!!!!

My daughter is in first grade this year and was absolutely miserable with the workbook style of math. I am a math teacher so I really want her to love math. I'm really hoping she'll enjoy the Fred books but I wanted to supplement and reinforce what she is learning without too much "drill and kill". I love your ideas! Thank you so much for sharing. I will be following your adventures.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822342982906837088noreply@blogger.com
