Re: If you have dc close in age, could you please help?

The first thing I would do is look at the placement chart and see where your oldest two place individually and share that information so the ladies can help you more.

Re: Math in Focus (Singapore Style)

I asked about the Math in Focus a while back. I have NO IDEA how to link a post, but if you will type "Cavendish" in the search box in the top right of the board it will be the only post that comes up. Just scroll down for Carrie's reply. Hope that helps!!
