Summer School Math

My youngest daughter will continue with the curriculum the cyber school supplies through the summer. I am doing this because the curriculum requires a little more than a few hours of time and I am hoping to get her slightly ahead so that we can break down the lesssons a little more loosely.

The two older girls will be doing some "traditional" work. I ordered Singapore Math for all three girls. G will be doing it in conjunction with her Calvert math, but the two older girls will be doing it alone. We discovered that even though Calvert is far is even further along (some schools are now using it!). So, my children have to play catch up over the summer. We are starting K off at the 3rd grade level (she is going into 5th grade) and M off at the 1st grade, 2nd semester level (she is going into Second grade). M is a bit faster at catching onto Math than K and G is even faster so I won't be surprised if all 3 girls are working at the same Math level by the end of the summer. G, even though she's an official Kindergartener, will be focusing on first grade work. We have her starting at the 1A level.

I have previously mentioned this Math curriculum before (in my exceitement of receiving it0 and after a week, I am still ultra into it. We are doing a ton of hands-on work to implement the visual/auditory/writing learning that G seems to love. She also loves that this work is way more about wrting letters than just coloring a picture. Calvert had a lot more coloring activity than she liked.

The two older girls are extremely weak in measurement skills and fractions. So, we are going to thorughly explore them. I put together a ton of worksheets for Maddy using the IB student workbook as my guide, to calibrate a review of what Maddy should know to pass onto the 2nd grade curriculum. She's pretty much doing the work well. Time seems to be a bit of a struggle. I have to ponder if this is in any way related to her difficulties with remembering time of day. I have grown extremely frustrate with Maddy because she's constantly asking what we have to do today. But, an epiphany dawned on me: is this because she has to know? That somehow this, too, is related to her processing disorder?
