I had decided to buy Gamma to get my older children on as suggested in my recent MUS thread - then today I saw advertised Intermediate MUS - teachers manual and video and student text unused for $20 so I bought it - I know this is the old version and out of date but I thought I could get going with this as I saved a bit more for the newer version - is this silly or not? I would like to know what the difference between old version and new are and what intermediate represents - Gamma, Delta, Epsilon?
Thank you once again, God Bless, Anne

I have the Intermediate but don't know what Gamma, Delta, Epsilon are - but if it will help, I can post some idea of the content of intermediate level. It is the one they introduce operations with fractions, division and multi digit multiplication.

Janet - thank you SO much - I would love more info when you get the time - this intermediate program should arrive next week in the mail and it could very well be an answer to my prayers to get the older ones going without great expense at present.

I would assume that the Intermediate would be comparable to Gamma and Delta since Foundations was like Alpha and Beta.

Ok, I pulled out my MUS Intermediate. Here is the scope and sequence from the TM - Review lessons on place value, addition, regrouping,subtraction,borrowing,skip counting.
The actual new lessons - skip counting, finding factors, multiplication, liquid measures, money, fractions (eventually cover equivalent fractions,adding, fraction of a whole, fraction of a fraction,subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions),
Introduce double digit multiplication, expanded notation, division, volume, averages, rounding numbers, roman numerals, decimals, average, percent, negative numbers, perpindicular lines, linear measure, tally marks, some graph reading and geometry, prime and composite numbers. Also conversion (unit mulitpliers like going from oz to pounds etc.)
A lot of the topics are only in the Teacher's Manual.
The way they teach fractions, division and multiplication with carrying is quite unique and does a very good job (imo) helping the student actually see the why of it.
