Hi- I need quicker math for my 7th and 9th grader. They both take about 1.5-2 hrs every day, which leaves them little energy for much else. The program is working very well; they have both increased in understanding, so I’m VERY hesitant to change. But something has to give! We can’t keep going at this rate.
We use Saxon, which is well-known for taking a long time. But we skip the warm up and only do half the problems. They watch Nicole the Math Lady videos, which are awesome, and only about 10-15 min.
What else can we do? My 9th grader really needs to start Algebra I this year, but he’s halfway through 8/7. Acing every test! But moving slowly.
My 7th grader had SO much trouble with Singapore, but is soaring with Saxon! Her confidence is so improved! So again, I hesitate to change. She’s halfway through 5/4, but I’d also like her to be in Algebra I by 9th…if that’s even possible.
