The Kumon workbooks are much better, though one has to go a grade level "up" from Singapore PM.Crimson Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254830856234479999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-66301070286708962732010-08-30T12:56:35.193-07:002010-08-30T12:56:35.193-07:00I have some of these books from Frank Schaffer Pub...I have some of these books from Frank Schaffer Publications. I love how the cover states: "Level 4A - Appropriate for students in Grade 5" on the cover. <br /><br />The first 4 pages in both the <b>Singapore Math Practice</b> books as well as the <b>70 Must-Know Word Problems </b>books are the same: An Intro to Singapore Math. It contains some strategies for basic operations, model drawing and problem solving. In 6 pt font.<br /><br />The Math Practice books I have then include a page of learning outcomes for each unit and a page of formulas. Then there are practice worksheets. No teaching, just worksheets. The content organization seems to match the Standards Edition of the materials available in the U.S.more than the U.S. Edition materials.<br /><br />The "70 Must-Know Word Problems" series have the 70 problems then somewhat detailed solutions in the back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239123267984420065noreply@blogger.com
