Which singaporemath? There are several.
- gnicholas 5y agoYeah, would be interested to see an example other than the link provided, which seems to be to purchase workbooks. Are there any good free resources (or free to try/evaluate) online? I heard about Singaporean math a while ago and looked up some youtube videos. It seemed like they showed clever ways to solve highly stylized problems, but nothing that would actually ever come up in the real world. To be fair, I only watched 3 videos, but they were all from different channels, so I assumed they were a decent sample of what Singaporean math is about.
- lhorie 5y agoWe bought the Intensive Practice series[0], and paced study time at a couple of pages a day (which takes about 20-30 mins), semi-supervised (i.e. kids mostly work on their own, but if they don't understand something, we help clarify). It does take some hand holding at the beginning though.

- loonster 5y agoInteresting. So was this a supplement to math learned at school or was it the primary math? I was expecting you to name dimensions or one if the other programs they offer.
- lhorie 5y agoIt isn't related to school curriculum (our kids go to US public school). It's supplemental in the sense that they get to practice more math exercises than a kid that only relies on school/common core curriculum.
- koolba 5y agoMost school math is pathetically slow. IIRC, they don’t learn algebra till 8th or 9th grade and even then spend an entire year on it.
- yumraj 5y agoCurious if you ever looked into Beast Academy and compared it with Singapore math? My kid is doing beast academy which looks good so am curious how they compare.
