NoPlaceLikeHome Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I am looking for any online classes or videos to support Singapore Math for ds:) I am considering cybershala but I also want to explore all of my options. I have seen khan academy vidoes but it looks like they have not done anymore SM videos. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in SW WA Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I will have dd7 do the free trial with cybeRShala next week. We've been emailing a bit. Looks intriguing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in SW WA Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Both my girls have done the free intro lesson and loved it! Our teacher lives in India. I am registering Abi for the service. She'll need to take a placement test to see where she starts. I hope she's ready for 3A. We'll see. I'm just relieved to have the luxury of a Singapore expert doing math with Abi while I'm working with Aly on other things. We will still do our regular Singapore math lesson each day, as usual. This online-class will be supplemental for Abi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Ed2Go has two courses on Singapore Math, but both are focused on teaching it. One is on model drawing and the other on numeracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Ed2Go has two courses on Singapore Math, but both are focused on teaching it. One is on model drawing and the other on numeracy. I plan to take the class soon. Hubby has given me the thumbs up to run with this. I obviously need serious remediation since I can't wrap my brain around many of Singapore 5th grade CWP (challenging word problems). Oy! I'm cursing my pitiful math education. College algebra was the highest I took because I despised math. Thankfully my older kids have a strong understanding and will do calc & beyond, I'm assuming. The little dds will learn Singapore as well as other 'Asian' methods. I hope this grand experiment works.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonshineLearner Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I plan to take the class Hey Beth, Is this course online? Also, I sent an invite to you.... cuz I wanted to chat with you on my jabber thing.... don't know if you got it or not... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yes, the Ed2Go classes are online. I've done both of them through our local CC, because I have to keep my teaching license active to be allowed to teach my music classes at the university program (really makes sense, right?), and since they don't care what the class is in, I figured I might as well do ones that are useful to DD. They're both well done in understanding the singapore way of thinking, and include some nice visuals and extra materials that are helpful. I really haven't needed the HiGs, and I think it's due to these classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in SW WA Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Khan Academy has free videos for part of Singapore 3A. http://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query=singapore We've watched them all. They are great. Sal said he was planning to do more Singapore. I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystika1 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi, Thanks for posting about the ED2Go class. I am thinking about taking it also. I have read Knowing and Teaching Math by Liping Ma and was wondering if this class would still be helpful? Do you get a text to use with this class or a printable book? Thanks, Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Each lesson has a printable/saveable chapter, and also includes some nice interactive activities. I have them all on my hard drive, and reference them as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
