Hello -

I have decided to get ds6 going on some more structured math activities before he heads back to ps this fall for 1st grade. We practice multiplication a lot informally but I think he would like a better understanding. I know he won't get that in 1st. Most likely we will do a combination of Miquon and Singapore. I have heard they go well together. And the books don't cost 100s of $.

Does anyone have a preference on where they get their materials? Specifically ebay "buyitnow" or a dedicated homeschool online bookstore. (buyitnow as opposed to auctions since auctions can take days, the items get bid up, and sometimes you don't win)

main considerations: price & security

note: I have the rods already

thanks in advance!
