Mom-ninja. Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I have the CWP. However, while at B&N the other day I saw these and they have worked out solutions in the back. How do these compare to CWP? What about the Math Practice books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I use Horizons, but use the 70 Must Know Word Problems as a supplement. I hated word problems as a child because no one ever really explained how to do them :glare:. Thus, I am overcompensating with DS. We also use the Daily Word Problems (http://www.amazon.com/Daily-Word-Problems-Grade-5/dp/1557998175/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1293716160&sr=1-6). Half way through the year and DS is finally becoming somewhat proficient with the word problems and loves trying to figure them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You can read the reviews on amazon for them. They are not done by anyone connected with Singapore math. It's a way for US workbook publishers to grab on to the Singapore name. There have also been a few threads on this by people here who have seen the books. (They're a lot older - came out when the books started coming out.) The new CWPs are available here. I haven't seen them (bought the old ones as soon as I heard they were going out of print), but the reviews here from people who have have been pretty positive. I don't know if they have complete solutions at the back or not. If you want extra practice with mental math with how Singapore does it, the Math Express Speed Math books may be good. I like the iExcel books as additional workbooks that do some demonstration of the bar model approach and some general problem solving. (Looks like they're being replaced with a new series.)

Mom-ninja. Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks. Makes you wonder how they are able to use the Singapore Math name. :glare: I also have the old CWP. Sometimes though I need worked solutions! I may order one of the new editions just to compare side by side. I'll check out the iExcel ones too.

Dana Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I've seen people post here to get solutions. Some people are good at drawing bar models in this browser! I've started working through the CWP to get the bar models. You can also post on the Singapore boards for help with any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
