Well - we have struggled with math for this past year. We started out the school year with our 2nd year in Singapore math but after much struggling on my part to effectively teach my 3rd grader where she could understand the concepts she was doing...I ventured to find something else that could help us that would not require as many tears on EITHER of our parts. ;-) Thankfully my good friend Laura Hecht recommended we try Math U See...it has been a TREMENDOUS asset to our homeschool curriculum. By the time we got the curriculum we were a year behind on math. We have thankfully gotten caught up and my daughter is LOVING math. She's been struggling with learning her times tables so I did some research and found this "strange" but awesome program called "Times Tales" which uses a mnemonic systems of memorization...while the stories are a bit strange...it has been fun and now she's spouting off her times tables without any problems...I would highly recommend this curriculum for any student struggling with their times tables!
Check them out at www.timestales.com it'll be the best $35 you spend!!!

That is great that you found a math system that is working for you guys! I have a lot of good stuff about singapore math but it is definately not for everyone! I can't believe how mature little Heather is... She looks like a little woman now.
