We have had a very productive week especially with math. I looked through the lessons recently and decided that some of them could easily be combined without causing frustration for 12yo. Three lessons on dividing decimals? She's been dividing money amounts. She already knows she needs to move the decimal point up into the quotient. We did one lesson out of three and called it good. Tomorrow I plan to combine three lessons introducing geometry. I just don't see the need for three separate lessons. Maybe they were trying to fill the school year? Idk.
