In December I went into panic mode. Since then 9yo and I have been slaving away trying to prepare her for standardized testing this summer. We've been doing two levels of math (Rod & Staff Math 2 and 3). Math 2 focuses on learning the addition facts. DD didn't know them, so that is where we started. When I introduced multiplication to her I decided to add in Math 3 for exposure.
Two math levels with lots of review has almost been too much. I began to question my decision. Why do two math levels when Rod & Staff is known for review? Wouldn't it be more efficient to focus on Math 3 and use addition flash cards every day?
I'm sorta shaking in my boots here. I can't believe I'm even considering this when she is so far behind in math and the test is looming. I may regret this decision but I'm going to drop Math 2. If I see she still needs help with the addition math facts, I'll have her do parts of Math 2.
I hope I'm doing the right thing.
