Hi Sarah,
You’re right! Miquon and Singapore Math are often used together. One of the strengths of Miquon is its flexibility which means that you can use it at whatever pace is comfortable and that you can experiment somewhat with what works best for your family. I’m sure there have been lots of scheduling variations including the one you suggested – or perhaps vice versa – Singapore three times a week and Miquon twice.
Miquon can be used either sequentially (cover to cover through the books) or topically (following a particularly topic as it’s developed through the books). Information for following a particular topic is included in the Annotations. Also, individual lessons (page by page) are relatively short and can be done either individually or grouped together.
You may need to experiment a bit to see what method of combining is most comfortable for you. Perhaps you will prefer set time(s) each week to move through the Miquon material completely independent of the Singapore. Perhaps you will prefer to cover a small portion every day side by side with the Singapore. Perhaps you will prefer to follow a topic (i.e. addition) simultaneously in both.
Sarah, I’ll put your question up on our Facebook page today as well as here to see how others might have combined the two.
