Kahn Academy

Has anyone used this for math enrichment? If so, do you have a sense with how/whether the grade levels correspond to the curriculum.

It's Khan. Kahn's is a processed meat company.

we used Khan a few times as a supplement our KGer when she wanted to learn how to do carry over in addition and borrowing in subtraction. it was helpful but not something super amazing. i would say there are better ways to do enrichment like Singapore math books or Kumon workbooks or Spectrum workbooks and most importantly parental support (ie doing all of this together)

Thanks for the feedback.

So I have the same question then for Singapore. Do the grades line up? My child is in 4/5 compacted math (just finished fourth grade).

The beauty of the Common Core is that they can make these materials align to the curriculum of any school implementing Common Core. So yes, they should line up.

No. 5th grade math is different from public to private and even from different levels in the same school.

I would be surprised if Singapore mth was realigned to match the common core..

I dont think they lineup.

If you look at the table of contents in this Singapore 1B book (2nd Grade) they cover multiplication and division which I believe is 3rd grade in common core standard ...

I use http://www.ixl.com/standards/maryland/math to track what is covered at what grade.
