Has anyone mixed math u see with five in a row?

Question

How do you feel about both of these? And maybe together? Any suggestions would be great. Please I am only looking for advice not your comments on the evils of homeschooling, I was homeschooled until 8th grade, it was an awesome education....

Answer 1

The two are my favorites.   That's what we used for years.  Still do actually for one of my girls.  It covers SO much!

You can use FIAR for your printing/writing without any problems.   *sigh*  The memories that come up with that are wonderful.

Answer 2

I think they'd go very well together.  MUS is very conceptual, and especially in the younger grades, really doesn't take much time.  It's a very hands-on approach, and the instructor/author (Steve Demme) approaches math instruction with almost a storytelling-like attitude.  He really engages the kids and makes learning math fun.

I didn't know about FIAR when my son was that age, so I didn't mix the two, but I think they'd work fine.

Answer 3

They are for completely different subjects, aren't they? I thought FIAR was a language arts program?

If FIAR has a math component and you'd prefer to use MUS, then go for it.
