We use it. Love, love it. After way too many years of trying different math programs, this is by far our most favorite. I guess we’ll find out about algebra when we get there. I feel we’re behind because we’ve wasted so much time jumping around. But my 12’s math readiness has skyrocketed since finding S/U so hopefully he’ll sail right into it.
Yes it’s all we use. The number of pages depends on the topic. My 12yo may do anywhere from 1-3. My almost 12yo (adopted from China 6years ago) usually only does 1. Also I almost never have them do all the problems on a page, with the exception of word problems.. Sometimes there are LOTS. If they get it, we move on. If they struggle, there’s lots of practice problems available. I love the no frills simplicity. So do they.
What ages/grades did you start them with it? My son is 8/grade 3. We’re currently using CLE, but we just need a different approach. I’m considering a “math break” for the rest of the year (just doing games, living math etc… in the interim). But would 9/grade 4, be too late to start book 1? I’m assuming we could work faster through the stuff he already knows.
We actually started when my boys were grades 4 and 5. We started in book 1 but further over because the first several sections are very basic. Yes, it’s easy to work through quickly.
