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 t[b]he original Singapore based curriculum[/b] [/quote]

Which Singapore itself apparently no longer uses.

I used the Singaporemath.com books for my kids, and they're good but you do have to be systematic and start from the beginning. Also I suspect that the word problems gave us odd ideas about Singaporean culture. :) [/quote]
