math questions-singapore or teaching textbooks

[pjsullivan]

I have used singapore for my twin 8 yr. old this year and we only got through 2A. We just finished today! I am going to work on math facts and games for awhile before going into another book. I am not sure what i want to use. For one of the twins, it's been a pretty good fit-the other one complains ALOT and LOVES colored pictures. I know he will thrive in Preparing next year(doing 1/2 pace) My 2nd oldest is using teacihng textbooks and is 5 soon to be 6. We tried singapore but it was HORRIBLE for her -we finally switched her. My choice is TT 4 for the twins next year or 2b singapore. TT takes a bit of pressure off of me as though i would sit with them the entire time, the teaching would come from the "computer" and they get to answer questions on the computer. Singapore is a strange language for me so i have to "learn" how to teach the lessons. I will have an oldest doing MFW high school, middle doing RTR and boys doing Preparing.I must admit the thought of TTkgives me a mental break-
AND i have a questions about spelling but will save that for a later post.

For those who might remember me, i tried HOD last fall and due to personal issues of hospitilization, we never "got off the ground" Hoping for a better start this august!!!!p
