More MUS questions

tigerlily · 05-02-2012, 01:31 PM

I hope you're not all sick of my MUS questions yet.

Feel free to

if you are.

All right, I scored MUS Alpha and Beta teacher manuals and DVDs at a curriculum fair.

I'm wondering if I should buy a workbook for each girl or try to just use one and make copies or use a white board or would that be too annoying?

Also, have you used the skip-counting cd? What did you think of it?

Thanks for the input!

So far I have been able to make both our Alpha and Beta workbook stretch between two kids. I think it will depend on how quickly your kids pick up on math whether or not you will be able to do that.

My kids pick up on math pretty easily and generally use one practice sheet and one review sheet from each lesson. On the occasional lesson where they need more practice I use the worksheet generator on the MUS website.

I went ahead and just did one workbook, since I needed to order the blocks, too.

Thanks for the idea about the worksheet generator! I'll try that if need be (it'll be better than copying the whole book!).

My kids learn really well through songs, we love the skip counting CD. Well worth the cost (which isn't that high IIRC).
