Singapore Math Standards Edition, Kindergarten to Grade 6
There
are several important choices to make when you choose Singapore Math.
Do you want to use the
US
Edition or the new Standards Edition?
How
to Place Your Child in Singapore Math Standards Edition.
According to the publisher the new
Singapore
Math Standards Edition is "an adaptation of Primary
Mathematics to meet the Mathematics Contents Standards for
California Public Schools, adopted by the California State
Board of Education in 1997 for grades 1-5 as one of the
approved textbooks. It is similar to the US edition but has
some rearrangement of topics and some added units, primarily
in probability and data analysis, negative number, and
coordinate graphing. The standards edition components are
not interchangeable with the US or third edition
components."
Level 6 for the new Standards Edition will be
available later this year according to the publisher.
If
your child is in kindergarten, then start with the Earlybird Kindergarten Math.
If your child is in first grade, then start at Level 1.
Placement Tests and Guides can be found at the
publisher's
website for other levels. You can use this information to place
your child in the Singapore Math program. My suggestion is to purchase one
level at a time as your child progresses through the program at his pace.
A Scope and Sequence can also be found at the
publisher's website.
