How many lessons?

There are six worksheets per topic (off the top of my head).  So I think that there’s 30 topics in Alpha and then 6 worksheets per each topic – 180 pages of work.  If you’re not using the Organizer, may I suggest that you schedule in extra time to complete the later lessons in the book – they require mastery (and hence memorization) of addition and subtraction facts – you’ll likely need more than six days to make certain your child has the facts memorized – we just printed out extra worksheets and used the online drill from the website to get enough practice to have these facts “down”.  We LOVE, LOVE Math u see!  Enjoy!

All of the books are not in that format–Algebra and above are very different, with varying numbers of lessons up to 35 or so, and very different workbook pages–there are not 6 per lesson.  Just didn’t want anyone confused about the upper levels!  We can answer most questions on those as I have all the upper-level books here except Calc.

I recommend doing work for a set amount of time—say, fifteen or twenty minutes for younger kids–and not pay attention to how many worksheets they do.  In twenty minutes, you might do 3 pages, or one problem on one page, depending on what is being studied and how well the student is learning the material.  Remember, remember, MUS is a MASTERY program.  You should work on a lesson as long as your student needs to work on the concept, until mastery is achieved–whether that is five minutes or two months!  Sometimes your children will need to do every worksheet and still need extra practice. Sometimes my kids can teach a concept to me after just doing one worksheet (although I often have them do the spiral review and word problems anyway)  Don’t base your days on “worksheets” but on mastery of the concept and attention.

Thank you, Bookworm!  What my post should have said was “all their books up to Zeta are that way”…..
