truebluexf Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I used RS with DS, but DD1 wanted workbooks so I mostly switched to SM (I had started DS with SM this year, in 2B and now 3A). I only however got DD the Primary 1A workbook, thinking it would be fun on the side, but she does really like the format. However, I have text 1B, and I don't see where they learn addition strategies? Is it in the 1a text? I just want to know if I need to switch back to RS B for a while to learn the strategies or if it's going to happen later? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't directly teach the other strategies. It works with patterns so many kids will make the logical leaps on their own, but Singapore really doesn't try to teach them.

truebluexf Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks Heather, I probably should have messaged you directly lol!!! I think we'll do RS for a while then. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
