And just what the heck is pre-algebra technically? I guess I better start studying our school's curriculum again.

This is a great question. I had a hard time figuring out if we needed pre-alg after Singapore 6B. With LOF, I felt like we could have jumped right into algebra. I have LOF Algebra here, but DS was balking at the format. He really likes the Singapore format. So that led to us starting Singapore new elementary math series (after looking at a bunch of curriculum).
We did use some Singapore word problem books, and sometimes I'd have DS do the problem and I'd set it up more algebraically on the side. At this point, he can do some algebra set up and certainly understands it.
