I have been decluttering everything this summer and trying to plan out what a CM education should look for us with 3 in 11th, 7th, 6th, 3rd, 1st and 2 toddlers.

My first question:
Do I really have to spend $25.00 per child to get them a new workbook for this year? The first 3 are taken care of, but the next 4 have been using Math U See. I have copies of the books that were used for the others of course so I have a general sense of how things run. I have all of the videos and the TManuals.

I sighed when I thought of all of the books $100. could buy and I know that they will probably go through more than just one text this year. Any suggestions as to how I should look at this? I am so over-thinking this. I also still have my Right Start materials and I was thinking of using that as it is an excellent program. Keep in mind that my 7th and 6th graders are a level "behind" but are making rapid progress...that is why I say that they will be in more than one level this year. They like to take it on more quickly than others might.

Anyone?? Anyone care to take this brain storming on with me??

I'd be tempted to use the worksheet generator on Math-U-See's website so that you don't need to buy all new workbooks. There won't be any word problems, but you could always copy a few from the used workbooks you already have, or make up your own.

I cut up workbooks and put them into page protectors to be used and re-used with wet erase markers. This seems to work well. I only have to buy 1 workbook for all of the kids. From my inquiries into copyright laws, this is OK to do. The drawback is if you live in a state that you'd need the finished workbook for the sake of record keeping, that won't work.

Maybe that helps?
God bless,
Christine
