[quote=Anonymous][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]

I'm not defending Everyday Math in the least.  We've had our problems with it.  But is it really true that its 3rd grade level is what Singapore math teaches in 1st?  My son just finished up 3rd grade as was doing triple digit multiplication through the lattice method.   328 x 427 = 140,056.   There's no way he would have been able to do that in first grade.   I was surprised he was doing it this year.  [/quote]
