How many days a week? Math U See

We do it everyday.Since I’m new to charlotte mason method others may do it differantly. We watch the video together but only if they don’t get the lesson with me teaching it to them.

Kelsey – we use MUS and really love it. We actually used it years ago, went away from it and are back. I watch the video with my children – even my 13 yo, because I want to be able to help him if he needs it and I have found that sometimes I can reword something and it makes more sense to him. I also watch him do some of the practice problems. If I see that he gets it and he can teach it back to me, he goes forward with the first worksheet. If he TOTALLY gets it, and if it seems like more review, I will allow him to skip B and C pages and move straight to the systematic review.

If it is just review for your daughter, you might consider letting her go straight to the systematic review pages – D, E, and F and then move to the next lesson. I wouldn’t let her skip any of the systematic review pages, though, because these cover things from previous lessons as well.

Rebekahy – You might think about going to the MUS website and printing off more review pages, instead of handwriting them. http://mathusee.com/worksheet/worksheet.html here is the link to the worksheet generator and you can actually pick which book your child is on, which lessons you need practice problems for (a from lesson and to lesson – like practice from lesson 5 – 8) and it even pops out an answer key for you. you can also pick how many rows and columns you want on the page!! Very nice feature! They also have an online drill that my children love!

We do MUS every day also. We spend about 10-15 minutes for my youngest son; my older ones more like 20-30 minutes a day.

We have gone through a single lesson in as little at fifteen minutes or as long as a month. 🙂 The key is to make sure the child really understands the concept. When they can teach ME back how to do a word problem, they can take the test and move on.

I also use the online drill for my youngest son. Good review for speeding up those answers a little bit on the basic math operations.

Christine, Thanks for the tip on printing out extra practice from the website – I have done that a little, but we’re just working through the primer and so they don’t have review pages specifically for that – some of the things are covered from Alpha, but others are not, so I just quickly write them out, but I’m sure others will not know about that option so it’s really great that you posted. Thanks again!
