Singapore Math
Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 9:57 am
In my defense, I searched and searched and it keeps telling me any concoction of Singapore Math, 4a, etc, is too common. So here I am killing you all with more Singapore Math questions.
First, has anyone come from BJU (3)? I don't really want to fix what's not broken, however, I am getting tired of spending so much for math if I can do it less expensively and just as well using Singapore Math. We're talking less than half price and a whole lot less cumbersome.
1)So first, is it friendly for moms who are horrible at math? Trust me, I'll need the TM.
2)How how long is the teaching portion and how long is the student portion (on average)? How many pages or problems? The 4a sample page I saw and even if it's two sided is about half of what we do in BJU.
3)Is it on level? I looked at 4a sample on Christianbook, but it was a sample on place value and looked easy. I'm guessing it's not all that simple. What's so different about it?
4)Is there a pdf file so I can get a better look of a lesson? One page here and there on CB is sort of driving me batty.
5)Is there a placement test?
Thanks.
