[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math in action (which is Singapore math) and Go Math are top. All the privates use it in states across the nation.
 I’ve seen my nephews workbooks in Florida, it is awesome. So are having bound workbooks, btw![/quote]
FWIW, few local privates use Singapore Math. The only one I can think of is Sheridan School.

I'd also note that most fans of Singapore Math tend to be somewhat negative on how it's done with Math In Focus. You'll see a lot of people using the original Singapore Math books instead of Math in Focus. This isn't to say that Math in Focus isn't better than MCPS 2.0, but it's not perfect. [/quote]

Potomac school 
Primary day school
Norwood selecting now
Beauvoir does bits/pieces
Gds uses Go Math

If you can teach math well the above are very good and the kids love math.

This is just making me sad that our kids won’t have anything good for another two years.[/quote]
I found the MCPS math curriculum pre C2.0 too superficial and fragmented so I spent time during grades 3_5 working with ds on Singapore Math during summer vacation. It cost around $100 for textbook, workbook and teacher’s instruction manual. The latter is essential. You don’t want to just throw workbooks at your child. You should actually teach them and the teacher manual is really excellent. The textbook and workbook are simple without too much distracting content but the manual is highly detailed and really teaches you how to teach your children   There are different editions and I tried to get the one that was closest to the original Singapore based curriculum [/quote]

Where did you get it? I'd like to start supplementing with my child, who will be in 1st next year.[/quote]

Also would you recommend I supplement over the summer with kindergarten or 1st grade math? My child's report card for K says that she regularly receives enrichment in math, but I don't know whether that is meaningful in any way.[/quote]
