We love the Life of Fred books at our house. I would recommend starting with Apples, even if you have an older child. There are concepts taught in the early books, that come back later. We do sometimes take a few days "off" from Fred to find additional problems to cement a concept. This was especially true with multiplication and division facts. My daughter who struggles with math, appreciates that this doesn't take her all day and that once she passes the bridge, she can move on. Life of Fred made math do-able for my kids that struggled as well as taught them lots of random information about history, biology, and economics. I highly recommend this series.
