singapore standards schedule?
Posted: Sat May 14, 2011 8:24 pm
So, I like how Carrie has the math boxes and all the cute lessons... but we are in CA and my hubby wants me to follow the standards version of Singapore math...
I was wondering if anyone has taken the time to line up the singapore standards curriculum with Carrie's math boxes as best as possible? I'm ok with jumping around on pages and will be trying to make a schedule but before I did all the work, figured i would check to see if anyone else has already done it!!
Thanks!

until dd decided she didn't mind long math days on Friday (so we doubled up that day). You might consider using the regular Singapore books that Carrie has scheduled and then look at the scope and sequence of the CA Standards books to see what (if anything) is missing in your book. I think there were only 2 additional concepts in the CA Standards for us this year and they were super simple to add in. The other thought would be to limit the Standards books to just one review (maybe the workbook review only, not text) after each chapter so your child isn't over-reviewing like I felt mine was. This is where the bulk of the additional pages are (in comprehensive reviews). Conceptually, the books almost identical. Just so you know, this year my plan is to use Carrie's schedule and if dd needs additional review or needs to learn additional concepts for testing purposes, to use my handy white board for practice. 
Here are a few links that may help as you and your dh ponder this...
