We always do the Lesson Reading, Practice Problems, and ALL of the questions from the current lesson...then we choose some that we do not need to review and omit them.
Amanda is working on Advanced Mathematics and does about 20-25 problems (we are doing 1/2 the book this year=Geometry...so she has 2 days to do this many problems).
Bailey is working on Saxon Math 7/6...right now most of her lessons are still review or she doesn't have a problem doing them, so she is only doing about 10 problems a day. Later in the book, I think she will have to do more problems.
Starting early on, the kids had trouble lining up their math problems when working on notebook paper (and we did not have the Worksheets/Tests books from Saxon because I didn't want to give tests, so I didn't buy them). We used graph paper, which was a real pain for me because I had to make lines to divide up the problems. Then we found out that the Worksheets/Test books had problem worksheets to copy for each lesson. It was all nice and boxed with problem numbers, graph grids so you could easily line up problems (and I could check easier). I liked them alot, and my kid's work got lots neater!
Then one day I was exploring around on the DonnaYoung.org and found some really cute graph paper/problem worksheets you could print out for free and my kids like these even better. One of them even has graph paper lines in PINK!! DonnaYoung.org has TONS of great worksheets, bookmarks, graph papers, schedules, etc. for all the popular homeschool curriculum. You should check out her whole site and see what you can find for your use. Math & Science are awesome!
Here's the math sheets we like:
Bailey: "Show Your Work Math Paper with Grid" with multiplication facts
Amanda: "4- Joined Rows - One-Half of Paper is Graph" - she uses this for problems with graphing, polar coordinates, etc. (look near bottom of website page)
I saved the pdf files on my computer and when we need more copies, I just bring them up and print a few more out. Very handy!
