Which math curriculum would you recommend? I tried the ones that are sold at Sam's Club/Wal-Mart, but my 6 years old son isn't ready for concrete thinking skills yet. He needs something more abstract. He seems to like Rod Cusienaire type of thing. I am thinking about going on that path, but any other thoughts/opinions on math curriculums?
Hi Dana, I would advise to look real hard at math u see before you buy anything!! I suppose there is no one fits all cirriculum, but for math this is about as close as it gets! Ellen

We started out with MUS but it went too slow for us. we were ready to move from abstract to concrete numbers without manipulatives. Now I use what I never thought I would...A BEKA. Love everything about it.
We use a combination of Miquon and Singapore. The miquon gives the hands-on and the singapore the basic/traditional stuff. www.singaporemath.com has samples, etc.

I know this is long past the first post, but just in case it benefits someone else: we started with Math U See, gung ho, and then we stalled. DS was just not getting it. We switched to Singapore and he has been doing great. Cheap alternative to check into. We do enhance with money, time, or fractions activites each day.
