In other words, should we cover whole numbers first before moving on to fractions and decimals, etc.?

In my opinion, that would work best. Some of the newer public school curriculums try to combine too many concepts into one unit, and some children do better if they can focus on one thing at a time. Once she's mastered each concept, you might try doing mixed reviews of everything she's covered.
That's just my 2 cents.
I'm not sure about the order. I do think that you cover decimals and whole numbers before fractions, but I may have that backwards.
