[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP at 7:42, what is your education and experience in teaching math to 5-6-7-year-olds? Everybody seems to think that they learned math when they were 5-6-7, so they know how to teach  math to 5-6-7-year-olds. But that's not true.

I have used Singapore Math with my 2 children, so I feel confident saying that Singapore Math works with the two children I have used it with. But I am not going to go around saying that Singapore Math works with every child, or that I am an expert in teaching math, or that Singapore Math's way is the only way.[/quote]

I have used Saxon math with one of my children and to a lesser extent Singapore with the other.  What I can say is that neither uses confusing directions.  I just don't see how PPs are defending poor instructions as there is simply no excuse to do so for children.

I had one child who did Everyday Math--not much liked on DCUM.  It was very language heavy and not well written.  Fortunately, my high language child had it and I remember being so thankful that my other poor language skills child had a much more traditional curriculum.

The work sheets OP offered flashed me back to Everyday Math.  Could it be that the die hard Every Day math supporters dreamed up some of the work books for implementing Common Core?[/quote]
