Singapore math homeschool reviews

@mathematicsprof/Twitter Some students love math ¡ª others not so much. In fact, some students find math to be difficult and dislike it so much that they do everything they can to avoid it. Math may feel a little abstract when they¡¯re young, but it involves skills they will need in life long after they¡¯re out of school. That makes math important for more

than just a grade on a report card. Whether you¡¯re a parent helping your child at home or a teacher in the classroom, tackling the process with the right teaching methods can make a huge difference. If you¡¯re not sure where to start, take a look at these time-tested ways to help students with math. Build Confidence Some students who struggle to

understand certain math concepts become discouraged and start believing that math simply isn¡¯t for them because they aren¡¯t any good at it. While it¡¯s certainly true that some students understand math concepts more quickly than others, everyone can learn math with the right techniques and tools. Work to build confidence from the outset ¡ª

perhaps with a fun game that reinforces beginning math concepts ¡ª to ensure you take that fundamental first step to helping your child learn and succeed. @MathCoachCorner/Twitter Encourage Curiosity Big ideas in math tend to naturally inspire curiosity, but curiosity is a valuable tool even for basic concepts. For example, if students are

struggling to understand how a fraction with a larger number on bottom could be smaller than a fraction with a smaller number on bottom, introduce some real-life items ¡ª like maybe large cookies ¡ª and let them explore the differences between dividing something into 10 pieces versus dividing it into four pieces. @MathCoachCorner/Twitter

Additionally, letting their curiosity guide them gives them a chance to discover their own passions for the particular subjects they may enjoy most. Be sure to encourage curiosity and questions at all times, especially when you¡¯re helping them with new or challenging concepts. Raise the Bar Okay, every student won¡¯t fall in love with math, even after

you build their confidence and show them they can learn it. As a result, some may try to get away with only doing the bare minimum to get a passing grade. Don¡¯t let them do it! Instead, raise the bar with even bigger challenges to send a powerful signal that they are always expected to do their best. @mathematicsprof/Twitter Plan in Advance For

most parents, students bring home specific items as homework, and they simply need to be prepared to help with what they¡¯re given. However, teachers and parents who homeschool follow a curriculum. When that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s vital to look at the topics students need to know for their exams, and it takes some advance planning to make sure you

cover all of them in detail. Don¡¯t forget to include plenty of time for questions and allow them time to truly understand the concepts before moving on to the next topic. @MathCoachCorner/Twitter Apply Math to Real-World Scenarios When you talk to students, it becomes clear that one of the key problems with math for many of them is that it just

seems too abstract for them. They feel that way because they don¡¯t understand all the ways math relates to daily life in the real world ¡ª so show them! Applying equations, formulas and geometry to common tasks they can see and participate in helps students understand just how important math is in our lives. @mathematicsprof/Twitter Be Positive

Kids¡¯ brains are like sponges, and they absorb all kinds of remarks and suggestions from adults ¡ª both positive and negative. It¡¯s critical to be vigilant about what you say when it comes to talking about math and helping them with it. Even if you start to feel frustrated yourself, take a short break to relax and then seek guidance from online sources or

another person to help you figure it out. Above all, stay positive and don¡¯t express a negative attitude that your child is likely to mimic. With a positive approach, you might be surprised to see how much progress your child starts to make. @MathCoachCorner/Twitter Personalize Math Assignments Numbers sometimes work in very interesting ways. In

short, that means some problems can be solved in more than one way. Giving students some control over how they learn allows them to adapt and incorporate their strengths, and it also conveys your belief in their ability. For example, instead of just giving them an exercise or worksheet to complete, you could prepare several different exercises and

let them choose what they want to do. They are far more likely to be enthusiastic about a task they gave themselves. @memesxmoney/Twitter Prioritize Understanding, Not Memorization In the academic world, too much emphasis is sometimes placed on memorizing information for exams. That might work in a history class, but for math, it¡¯s critical to

really understand the mathematical concepts to achieve long-term success. If you don¡¯t encourage understanding over memorization from the beginning, students could find themselves on shaky foundations as the math gets progressively harder. @MathCoachCorner/Twitter Reward Progress No matter what subject you¡¯re working on with your child

or student, it¡¯s important to reward progress. In the sports world, this often comes in the form of medals or trophies. Don¡¯t put off giving them rewards for their hard work! They shouldn¡¯t have to wait until they achieve big things like getting A¡¯s on report cards and outstanding test scores. Reward your student as you go with simple but cool treats

like setting up a math game to play on a computer or mobile device in place of a regular study session. They will enjoy it a lot more than a certificate or badge. @MathCoachCorner/Twitter Collaborate with Teachers and Parents Whether you¡¯re a teacher or a parent, it¡¯s always a good idea to collaborate with each other. This will keep you on track and

help you get past hurdles quickly. Teachers should keep parents informed about exactly what they¡¯ve been doing in class, while parents ¡ª who are generally the ones called on to help out at home on a more one-on-one basis ¡ª should seek guidance from teachers and inform them of any problem areas that are particularly challenging.

@mathematicsprof/Twitter MORE FROM Everyone has heard how well foreign students, including those from Singapore, do in math compared to U.S. students. But few people understand why this is so. You will have a better idea of why students in Singapore excel if you check out the Primary Mathematics program for

the elementary grades. Primary Mathematics was first published (in English) for students in Singapore, so it was also called Singapore Math? when it was first brought to the U.S. in 1998. Homeschoolers are much more likely to refer to it as Singapore Math rather than as Primary Mathematics.Primary Mathematics has taken the homeschool market

by storm, and with good reason. This program teaches children to think mathematically rather than just having them memorize the mechanics of problem solving. Primary Mathematics lays a solid foundation for conceptual understanding using a three-step process, taking children from concrete, to pictorial, then abstract approaches to learning.

Concepts are addressed from a number of directions that challenge students to think and understand.Primary Mathematics is more advanced than just about every other math program used in the U.S. Until 2022, there were three different versions: the U.S. Edition that was adapted directly from the version used in Singapore but substitutes U.S.

measurements, spellings and conventions; the Standards Edition that aligns with the math standards for California, changing the order of presentation for some topics and adding units on topics such as probability, graphing, data analysis, and negative numbers; and the Common Core Edition, which slightly reorganizes topics to cover those required

by the Common Core State Standards (CC). None of these are ¡°dumbed down¡± to align with standards. Yet another version was added in 2022, Primary Mathematics, 2022 editions. They differ enough from previous editions to have their own review.The question that arises is which of these editions to choose. The scope and sequence remains

challenging for all three versions. The Singapore Math website has comparison charts that show the scope and sequences of all of the courses side by side. Primary Mathematics teaches some topics at earlier grade levels than is required by the Common Core. Common Core Editions add a few very specific topics, and they review many topics at

different levels to satisfy the Common Core. Consequently, those editions have more pages than others.Standards and Common Core Edition textbooks as well as textbooks 1A through 2B in U.S. Editions are printed in full color while the rest of the U.S. editions are printed in two colors. (All workbooks are printed in black and white.) Color might be

important for some learners, but the cost is significantly higher for Standard and Common Core Editions.All editions have periodic reviews. While U.S. and Standards Editions have cumulative reviews, the Common Core Editions do not. In the textbooks, concepts are taught thoroughly and sequentially within units rather than in a spiral fashion. The

cumulative reviews are the primary means of reviewing previously taught concepts since they are not addressed again in future units. With the Common Core Editions, the publisher wanted to allow teachers to skip units if they so desire, but to do that the publisher had to limit review to only what has been taught in each unit. Parents can create their

own cumulative review by having students complete selected problems from each review, then revisiting problems from previous units at a later date. The supplemental Extra Practice books might also be used to create your own cumulative review. (See more about the Extra Practice books below.)The Primary Mathematics series has levels 1 through

6 which cover material for approximately grades one through six and beyond. The Common Core Editions have only levels 1 through 5. Each level has two textbooks, two workbooks, and two teacher's or home instructor's guides labeled A and B¡ªthat's four student books per course. Textbooks range in length from about 80 to 190 pages each.

(Common Core Editions are significantly longer than others.) However, textbooks and workbooks are each about 10 by 7? inches, with uncrowded, large print, so they don't intimidate students.The textbooks might be used either as consumable or non-consumable books. In the latter case, students write answers in a notebook to preserve the

textbooks. There are quite a few problems to solve between textbooks and workbooks, so I generally recommend letting students write in the books to save recopying the problems. (None of these books are reproducible.) Correlated workbook exercises are indicated at the end of each textbook lesson. Children should be able to work through

workbook exercises independently once they can read directions without a problem.While each level of U.S. and Standards Editions has both teacher's guides and home instructor¡¯s guides available (with the exception of Standards Edition levels 6A and 6B), the home instructor's guides are designed specifically for homeschoolers, are less expensive,

and are what I recommend. You do not need both. Common Core Editions have only teacher's guides right now (no home instructor's guides), and these are the only teacher's guides that include reduced pictures of student pages, a very helpful feature. Both the home instructor¡¯s guides and teacher's guides have lesson plans, teaching instructions,

and answer keys.The program requires one-on-one teaching throughout most lessons for the younger grades. Older students can be taught using activities and lesson presentations from teacher's or home instructor's guides, but some students will be able to work independently through the books on their own. The guides incorporate work with handson resources, but you can skip those activities if they are not needed. Some children will find the visual representations in the textbooks sufficient.Placement tests are available on the Singapore Math website. If your child is not starting at the beginning of the program, it is vital that you use the placement test to determine the appropriate level.

Important note: It is not unusual for a child to place one or two levels below their official grade level.Primary Mathematics 1A and 1BBook 1A begins with the assumption that children already have a basic sense and recognition of numbers. It begins with counting to 10, but by the fourth unit of the first book, students are learning subtraction. Singledigit multiplication is introduced in 1B, with division introduced very briefly immediately after. (Students are not expected to memorize multiplication facts yet.)The text stresses conceptual understanding over math-fact drill at this level. Drill suggestions are given in the guides, but you might want to provide opportunities for more practice with math

facts using other resources. Practical applications are used in lesson presentation and word problems. In addition to the arithmetic operations, this first level teaches ordinal numbers, shapes, measurement, time telling, money, and graphs.Primary Mathematics 2A and 2BThe second level teaches addition and subtraction with renaming (carrying and

borrowing), multiplication and division, place value, measurement, money, introduction of fractions, writing numbers in words, time telling, graphs, and very introductory geometric shapes and area.Primary Mathematics 3A and 3BThis level has more advanced work on the four arithmetic operations including long division, fractions (equivalent

fractions plus addition of fractions), measurement, graphs, time, and geometry. It also teaches two-step word problems and mental calculation. It will be challenging for most students to begin this program at the third level if they have been using a different math program. However, the pictorial lessons do help students pick up concepts they might

not have been taught previously. Make sure that if you are just starting this program, you watch for this problem, and provide the necessary teaching before expecting your child to do the lessons.Primary Mathematics 4A and 4BAt the fourth level, students learn all four functions with both fractions and decimals. Geometry coverage is also very

advanced as students compute the degrees of angles and solve complex area and perimeter questions. Students also work with advanced whole number concepts (e.g., factors, multiples, rounding off), money, other geometric concepts, graphs, and averages. Primary Mathematics introduces two-digit multipliers at this level but doesn¡¯t really

concentrate on two-digit multipliers and divisors until the fifth level. While students complete quite a few computation problems, the number of word problems seems to gradually increase at this level.Primary Mathematics 5A and 5BAt the fifth level, students do advanced work with decimals plus multiplication and division with two-digit multipliers

and divisors. They learn to work with percents and continue with advanced work on fractions, geometry, and graphs. Time and rate word problems, as well as other types of word problems, are given a great deal of attention. There are more word problems than drill type problems. Some of the geometry taught at this level is rarely introduced before

high school. For example, students learn to calculate the degrees of angles in a parallelogram given the measurements of only two angles.Primary Mathematics 6A and 6BBecause of this series¡¯ advanced scope and sequence, at the sixth level much of the work is more typical of other publishers¡¯ high school level texts. Students work with fractions,

but a typical problem requires students to perform three different operations on four different fractions within a single problem, much like an advanced algebra type problem, although without variables. Common geometry problems are set up in proof-style format, although you need not require students to present their solutions in that format.Among

other concepts covered at this level are graphs, algebraic expressions, geometry (e.g., radius, diameter and circumference of circles plus the volume of solids), advanced fractions, ratio, percents, tessellations, and lots of word problems including time/rate/distance problems. It might be challenging for parents with a weak math background to use this

level without some assistance.SupplementsThere are a number of supplemental books that you might use along with Primary Mathematics although none of these are required for a complete course.Extra Practice WorkbooksThe Primary Mathematics series has an Extra Practice workbook for each course. These are exactly what they sound like¡ªa

source for additional practice if it is needed.There are sets of Extra Practice books for U.S., Common Core, and Standards editions, and you need to choose them to fit with the edition you are using¡ªthey are not interchangeable. All Extra Practice books are printed in black and white. They include illustrations such as those in the textbooks, even

though they are not in color. Answer keys are at the back of each book.Extra Practice workbooks for the Common Core editions are substantial with about 200-250 pages per book. They briefly reteach the key concepts covered in the corresponding unit in a section called "Friendly Notes." The presentation in Extra Practice is different from that in the

texts, so this might be especially helpful if a child hasn't really understood the lesson. Friendly Notes are followed by one or more exercises. Exercises are generally each two or more pages in length. While many units have about two exercises per unit, especially at lower levels, I did spot units with five and six exercises each. There are generally more

exercises per unit at higher levels.Extra Practice workbooks for the Standards editions are very similar to those for the Common Core editions. Extra Practice workbooks for the U.S. editions are about half the size of the Common Core versions. They do not include reteaching material. Instead, they have lots of practice problems.Extra Practice books

can be used as needed rather than on a regular basis. It is easy to identify which sections you might use to either review the presentation of the concepts and/or to practice those concepts.Challenging Word ProblemsSee my separate review of the Primary Mathematics Challenging Word Problems series.Intensive PracticeSingapore Math Intensive

Practice books correlate directly with the U.S. editions of Primary Mathematics with two books for each level corresponding to the A and B books for Primary Mathematics. These black and white workbooks provide additional practice on what has been taught in each unit of Primary Mathematics as well as mid-year and end-of-year reviews.For each

section, there is a large set of problems of various types. There are more visual illustrations in younger levels than older levels. Word problems are presented in a separate section of their own. Word problems are followed by a set of "Take the Challenge!" problems¡ªthese are primarily puzzles of the sort you find in critical thinking skill books. While

the basic problem sets and word problems can be used with all students, Take the Challenge! problems might be more difficult for some students.Singapore Math? LiveExperienced teacher, Brenda Barnett has been licensed by the publisher to provide online teaching assistance for Primary Mathematics (US Edition) courses. Singapore Math? Live is

a teaching assistance program and solutions guide for the teacher rather than for the student. You gain access to these teaching assistance videos through a yearly subscription to the level of your choice.Barnett has created courses for teaching Primary Mathematics' levels 1 through 6. You will also need to purchase course books from other sources.

The required books include the textbooks, workbooks, answer key for the workbooks, Intensive Practice books, and Challenging Word Problems book for each level.Your subscription gives you access to the YouTube recordings of Barnett's instruction for each week's lessons. At the beginning of each week's "class recording," Barnett writes the pages

to be covered in each of the books. The assignment can also be printed as a PDF document.Barnett does not go through the entire lessons in the videos. Instead, she highlights concepts or problems that might pose difficulty, explaining how to teach only as needed. She does work through each of the word problems in both the Intensive Practice books

and Challenging Word Problems.We never see Barnett on the videos. What we see, instead, is a whiteboard screen on which Barnett works out problems while we listen to her voice. Parents will need to spend some time watching Barnett's videos on their own each week with the textbooks in front of them. Once parents are familiar with how to teach

each week's lesson and how to help students solve the problems, they can then teach their children. While this requires more prep time each week, it should enable parents to teach effectively as needed and assist their students without having to stop and figure things out for themselves.Sample lessons are available free at the Singapore Math? Live

website. Click here to check it out. Note that Singapore Math? Live is a separate company from Singapore Math, Inc., but they operate with the permission and approval of Singapore Math, Inc.While Primary Mathematics is one of my Top Picks, it isn't the easiest math series to teach. Singapore Math? Live should be a big help for those parents who

need more guidance and assistance.
