Try to adapt the abacus lessons to another manipulative like money or a 10-frame. I also see her struggling with the geometry lessons in C. If we stick with RS though, we probably will finish those just because she struggles with handwriting and I know that all those lessons in C with addition and subtraction tables will be too much for her. ![]() So I don't think the needs to finish the book past the subtraction lessons before we move on. Also, I know she has a pretty good 1st grade grasp of the things like money, time, measurement, etc that fill up the last part of each level in RS. She tends to do more counting to figure out problems than I would like, so I've always made her do the strategies we learn on the abacus so she can learn it, but I'm tired of the fight. Anyway, she catches onto math concepts more quickly than my oldest, but she has a very low frustration tolerance and easily gets upset. She recently told me she hates using the abacus (she has always resisted it) and just wants "to use my B-R-A-I-N." ? I can understand that.my mental math skills have improved while teaching my older daughter, but I don't see an abacus in my head.
