We are in our 2nd year of Hsing. DD9 is over half way through MUS Gamma this year. We covered Alpha and Beta last year to learn together and start fresh versus what she learned in K and 1st public school. We have struggled in enjoying Math, which I realize everyone doesn’t have to like everything. Struggle is no fun though. My daughter, when she has a positive attitude, can typically take her time and get correct answers. She knows how to get answers but is not quick with any of her facts from last year or this year. We tried XtraMath over the summer and she started to despise it because of the race the teacher part. She has definite test anxiety. So anyhow… Tonight, I took the plunge and bought the LOF Elementary series. she has caught the love of reading this fall and I’m hoping this will help.
So, does anyone use MUS and LOF? How do you implement it? Could I have her work through reading LOF on her own, at her pace? We only have two more multiplication facts to learn in Gamma. I’m thinking of taking a break from moving on to the last 10 lessons until we can flip through flash cards. Thoughts?
For those that use only LOF, how does that look in your schedule?
