I've been over there, with hardly any internet access, so my apologies if this is old news to y'all.
The Dyslexia Tutor (Adrienne Edwards) has a post on Singapore math:
Intensive Five-day Summer Institutes in teaching “Singapore Math” are scheduled in Orlando (June 23-27), San Francisco (July 14-18), and Boston (July 28-August 1).
These three will focus on the fundamentals, and are geared to teachers of grades 1-6 who have little or no experience in Singapore Math, “especially those who intend to supplement a non-Singapore Math program or adopt a Singapore Math program.”
Go read her whole post. She has a good description of the Singapore program.
I was over there for this event. It is a brave woman who takes on three mothers-in-law. And we are indeed separated by a common language.
Good grief!
ReplyDeleteYou've been in Singapore!?
That makes 3 "regulars" who've been there.
No -- at least 4.
I'm starting to feel left out.
Looks more like London than Singapore to me
ReplyDeleteIt was London. And Cambridge. And Stonehenge.
