[quote=Anonymous]All three of my kids went through EDM at their school, and my opinion about the program are mixed. For my older two sons (who are strong in math anyway) it was fine, and in some respects opened up and fed their curiosity by reenforcing the multiple strategies for problem solving. For my youngest daughter it was not helpful. She could definitely benefitted from a more structured and linear approach where she had more time to master concepts before moving on. Also, EDM never allowed her to gain automaticity in operations like multiplication and subtraction. We had to supplement at home drills and flash cards. Also, it would have been a lot easier for us to help pur daughter with homework if there had been a more straightforward text-- the EDM resources weren't the clearest for my DH and I to follow. Thank goodness we had gone through EDM with the earlier kids or it would have been a disaster! Lattice method anyone??[/quote]
