Hi,
I’m hoping some others will jump in here with experience on using CR with older kids.
One thing you might try is having your older teach your younger using Miquon and the Cuisenaire Rods. We always learn better when we teach others plus he will likely come up with other applications as he gets familiar with the rods.
You have many choices for “after Miquon.” Your student will have been introduced to a wide range of mathematical topics and depending on her computation comfortability will be ready for an upper primary (4th – 6th grade) text. I would suggest taking a placement test from whatever curriculum you choose. If you’ve been using Miquon as a supplement, just plan to continue in your basal curriculum. Some other programs to consider: Singapore Math, Saxon Math, Life of Fred, or Horizons.
Warm Regards, Janice
