Singapore Math’s Primary Mathematics, U.S. Edition series is well loved by homeschool families everywhere. Parents appreciate the high test scores, deep understanding of mathematical concepts, and love of math this program produces.
Please see the Singapore website for further information about the curriculum and for placement tests. Students new to Singapore Math may wish to choose their class according to their placement test results as Singapore is often a year ahead of other math programs in concept complexity. When placing my own children in Singapore for the first time, I did a bit of math review over the summer which helped them to be ready for Singapore success and enjoyment that Fall.
Each Monday, new concepts will be introduced in a fun, hands-on, supportive classroom environment. I want your child to fall in love with math this year! They will leave class with an assignment of daily, independent work to reinforce introduced concepts. This work be completed at home, corrected by you, and brought into class the following week for my review. Periodically, your child will take a test at home to identify any areas needing reinforcement. I will grade these tests myself and provide your child with reteaching and/or reinforcement activities to solidify learning if needed.
Most students require consistent review to keep from forgetting all their hard-earned math knowledge. Because of this, I have also incorporated a short, spiral review, to be completed each day, into this course. This review is called 180 Days of Math for 5th Grade.
