Math series workbooks.
Does anyone have any experience with these? I believe they are a Mennonite provider. We have used Rod and Staff (also Mennonite) for math but I have just come across this publisher in comparison. R&S worked for my older son and we've started it with my younger but I think he may do better with the problems to solve in workbook form as opposed to having to copy all of them from a text.
CLE math

I also read that CLE works at higher level than R&S.
I appreciate any information/advice you may have on this math program or publisher.
Thank you!!

I know a family who uses CLE.

The math books start out with first grade, but more at a kindergarten level; then they are subsequently harder by approximately a quarter of a grade level each year, so that by 8th grade for example a child is working is working at a 10th grade level.

I can't compare to Rod and Staff, and I'm going to do Montessori with my son, but I am considering CLE as a supplement for him to have practice doing the work in a book (he loves workbooks too, so that helps).

Sorry I am so late to post this, but CLE has been a lifesaver for my sp ed daughter who just doesn't "get" math. After two years of introducing adding using other materials (MCP, etc), I bought CLE at a Christian Home Educators conference as a last resort, and my daughter "got" it! I was so excited, I cried!! I felt like a whole new world opened up for her. So, I LOVE it, and it has worked out so wonderfully for us. I may switch over with my other children (Saxon users). With all my great education, I still can't remember anything in highter math.
