Megan is learning addition. We love the activities in the Little Hearts For His Glory guide and the activities in the Singapore math book. However, the skills that were easily done with manipulators weren't transferring over to book work. In other words, Megan could easily do 2 buttons plus 3 buttons, but struggled with 3+2=. She knows how many the numbers represent, but does better with objects she can count.
So, I temporarily set aside the Singapore book. I grabbed the ACE workbooks I had been using and we began again.
So far, it's helped tremendously. Megan now understands much better. Drill and kill? Nah... It hasn't been too bad. The Ace workbooks are very colorful with lots of pictures. It's slow moving enough that Megan is mastering an addition set before moving on.
We'll go back to Singapore when I'm comfortable that my daughter's understanding is solid.
