Thank you for the advice. They do have her at grade level and she is bored. I think she wants to be challenged more ... . I’ll look into the next grade level - home school version.
Signing off ... hoping we have off tomorrow.
They keep saying we’re getting snow but all I hear is rain.
Thanks to all with the advice!
In defiance of Saxon’s recommendations (:O can you imagine that?!?) I never made them do EVERY single problem, nor did they do all the speed drills. I see no point in being able to do it fast. I’d rather have them be right. Fast will come with practice and knowledge and nobody has to do that in real life anyway.
If they had something down pat, I considered doing the problems just busy work and hate busy work, BUT I always insisted on them doing stuff I knew they were not sure about.
We had to go up two grade levels. You can always slow down when they get really stuck. One thing I did was let them do the work that they understood and told them to let me know when they got to something they didn’t understand and I’d help them. After a while of working on it together, the light would go on and I’d get “I get it now. You don’t have to help me any more.” That’s such a good feeling.
