Apologia Math 4 Flip Through

[@jenniferjones6228]

Such a great flip through! So helpful! Thank you!

[@ashleyramos9794]

Thanks for the video, it was so helpful! One additional question from me...for the Book Extras at the beginning of the book, did you ever see what all of that entailed on the website? We're currently in a review heavy curriculum, which is great...sort of. My son can't seem to focus long enough to get it all done, which is why we're considering other options. I was wondering if the Book Extras had more review, should more reinforcement be needed. Thanks again!

I'm having trouble with placement. Would you say there is ample multiplication and division review in Level 4? I loved the multiplication Battleship game you referenced in Level 3 and I think a brief brush through would be handy to have without having to start exclusively in Level 3. Level 4 seems to be the better fit. Any thoughts?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

One idea might be to purchase just the teachers guide for level 3. It would have all the games and teaching tips to review multiplication and division before jumping into level 4. Otherwise this is an excellent question for Apologia customer service. Or check out the author (Kathryn Gomes) on social media. She is great at answering questions!

[@NoelleEve1]

Do you have to get the teachers manual or do you think it explains to the student enough I can teach off of that?

[@ljks1755]

Have you supplemented at all for your daughter? Was she able to master her math facts using just this program? Every level is so pretty. I wonder if there is enough practice as the concepts get more difficult!

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

Math facts will always just take time and review, whether with games, apps, songs, or whatever other methods work for your child. But I do feel this program is comprehensive and complete with review and practice built into every lesson.

[@devinmarks6709]

How do you think this curriculum does with mental math?

[@amyparedes5033]

How did your year with level 4 go with your child? Did you feel there was enough practice of concepts as well as review of those new concepts throughout the year or did you need to supplement?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

Everything went great! We didn’t feel the need to supplement with anything else (other than a math facts app that she does when she’s waiting on me). It has been a consistently comprehensive program.

Send the book

[@adriennehallgoolsby2919]

Love it!!!! Do you know if they are going to continue on with the entire elementary series and jr. and high school levels?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

I know the author currently has up through level 6 in the works. Then she will go back and release a kindergarten level. Not sure yet if Apologia plans to go higher. I sure hope they do!

[@adriennehallgoolsby2919]

@@abbykhomeschool5398 I hope so too!!! I just began level 2 and 4 with my kids - I'm so THANKFUL I found this program!! Math has been a tough one for us to land on - but we finally found the one!

Give all the books 📚

[@1msmarissab]

How long would you say each lesson is?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

I’d say 20 minutes would be a nice average. Sometimes a little more at this level. The short and sweet lessons are one of the things I love most about this program. My middle girl does not have the attention span for more, lol.

So both the teacher’s guide and student book are consumable?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

Yes, although I’m sure you could reuse the activity sheets from the teachers book if you were able to save the pieces and maybe laminate them and use dry erase markers for writing. Thankfully though they are reasonably priced, as far as math curriculums go. The whole set is not much more than just the student set (the consumables) from Math U See that we were using before.

[@thelittlesimplethings7842]

Do they have tests?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

Yes! Starting in level 4 there are optional chapter tests included in the teachers guide.

[@Soy_Jessica_]

After 4 what does she suggest to go to ?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

She’s finishing up level 5 right now. Should be released for next school year 🙂

[@Soy_Jessica_]

@@abbykhomeschool5398 Wow that’s nice that you got the fifth already but thank you for the response

[@kchapyful]

is it more traditional math or does it take an approach kind of like singapore? Any mental math focus?

[@abbykhomeschool5398]

I haven’t personally used Singapore, so I can’t compare it to that method specifically. But it does use a variety of methods with lots of hands on activities to really ensure the student understands the why behind the math.
