Hello everyone, I must say that i have used so many different methods with my children. I do have a 13 year old girl who just placed in the top 1 percent in the world on the AMC 8 math test which is a global test (she scored a 23 out of 24). Her school discovery-academy.org placed number one in florida. Her math teacher is amazing and I give him all the credit for teaching her to this level. She is also taking the CLEP test for college in grade 7 !!!!!! She was in public school for grades k-5 and I saw that her math skills were effected. However she was in Kumon from the age of 3 and I think that helped her stay ahead. Right now I am homeschooling our 6 year old and am using math mammoth curriculum
www.mathmammoth.com , kumon, time 4 learning and misc. other websites. I STRONGLY believe in mastery before moving on. I do find that in a lot of cultures families feel so strongly for children's education and no mater where they live they are looking for teaching methods that help outside of public schools
