Fourth-grade topics are shapes, multiplication, exponents, counting, division, logic, factors, fractions (addition and subtraction), integers, fractions (multiplication and division), decimals, and probability.While these topics might sound too simple, consider that “shapes” taught in fourth grade includes definitions, measuring angles (including how to use a protractor), parallel and perpendicular lines, and symmetry. I’d suggest just making sure to practice the math facts for 5 minutes per day as part of your lesson time so that she fully masters them.

Thanks!Hi Danielle, it depends on what he hates about RightStart. I have tried both A Beka Arithmetic (he hated it) and Saxon Intermediate, he hated at first but eventually got so he didn’t fight me as much every day.

There is way too much busy work and not nearly enough brain work in most grade school math books. I notice that she’s great at applying rules to math but gives up far too easily when faced with challenging problems and then labels herself as “bad at math.” I think Beast Academy would present challenging problems in a way that she would enjoy, but after reading the recommendations and looking at the pretests I’m confused as to what level to begin with.

The next two chapters are quite different, and they’ll give you a much better feel for how the program handles more traditional topics, like multiplication. I wouldn’t survive homeschooling without your support and web site.Thanks so much, Cameron! )There are more challenging problems (contests) for ages 9-10 upwards listed at Math Kangaroo has some good sample problems along these lines for younger kids. If your son loves math and is doing well with it, I think you’ll be fine starting in level 5. No review or article may be copied or reprinted without permission except for a single copy of a review made for temporary use AND not shared with others. Double-starred problems usually take a while, but sometimes my son has a sudden flash of insight and solves them more quickly than I expect.So, since I can’t predict how long a page will take, Math goes better at my house when there’s a balance of easy and hard work each day.

But learning to struggle builds perseverance and a growth mindset, which pays off a lot in the long run.Children typically spend 30-45 minutes per day solving problems. I need to make a decision in the next couple of weeks.Definitely don’t let the shapes chapter stop you! I honestly wish there was 1-2 choices. Thank u kate for through review about beast academy.. i enrolled my kids who are 6 and 9 in beast academy online..they are gifted and are enjoying it.. would u plz recomend anything good for english language arts. It’s really just the geometry (perimeter, area, obtuse triangles) I don’t think he’s been exposed to yet. He’s also fairly relentless as long as you’re there to offer help, so given his motivation level and temperament, I think that Beast Academy is the way to go for him, whether just in print or online as well. I'm purchasing Beast Academy soon though which I hope my son will like.

That was actually the first book, and it doesn’t expect that kids know much beyond place-value, addition, and subtraction. I think you’d probably want to look at the Levels 3&4 problems: You can also buy their full tests from previous years for only $2.50 once you figure out which level you want.Thank you so much for writing these reviews!!! Then, both topics are reviewed in all three sections of 3B and 3C (in contexts ranging from variables to perfect squares) and again are the focus of the final chapter of 3D.In Beast Academy, all of the teaching is done in the guides and practice books, with no teacher’s guides.

It is very challenging for him, and I've had to look up some answers in the back myself! 2) In general, if your daughter ends up enjoying Beast but gets frustrated by the double-star challenge problems, it’s okay to skip them, too. What would you do?I’d say to go for it! With 9-year-olds who need a better conceptual foundation, I’d suggest doing a number sense/place value “boot camp” to review those essential ideas and skills and get them solid. Her experience with Miquon should definitely hlep, but if your daughter is getting frustrated, definitely step back a few books and let her start by solving challenging problems with content she already knows, perhaps with 3A or 3B. I would appreciate them so much.Hi Rachel, glad you enjoyed the review! But damn … They’re great problem sets. I personally prefer the Math Mammoth Blue series for that kind of work. So, it’s really just a matter of personal preference and budget. Fortunately, I was able to limp through and complete my major, but it was a humbling experience. Kids who use Beast definitely need to know the math facts well so they can devote their brainpower to problem-solving and not figuring out basic multiplication.I’m sold!
