Singapore Math Trainings, via The Dyslexia Tutor


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!

You'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

It was London. And Cambridge. And Stonehenge.
