[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything is better than Everyday Math. It is horrid. I say this as a person who has taught Singapore Math to her kids, so I can see how important it is to conceptually understand math. It is a dumbed down, Americanized version of Asian math. It never teaches anything in depth. One day is measuring, the next day is shapes, the next day some problems involving money. It is taught on a superficial level. What the teach in third grade Everyday Math is taught in first grade Singapore Math (Marshall Cavendish version).[/quote] +1 And like PPs have pointed out, whether a math program is aligned to common core standards really tells you very little about its quality. In fact, any one of us could pick up the standards for K or 1 at the very least and create an illogical, silly, and poorly designed curriculum around it that would provide children with a terrible introduction to math.[/quote]
