notbefore7 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I just read about Singapore Math's "Math in Focus". Anyone familiar with this program? Is it drastically different from Singapore STandards math? It seems more like MUS - diving into particular concepts without a ton of review. Anyone switch from one to the other? What did you find? Thanks! Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 MIF is "new" syllabus Singapore while Primary Math is the pre-2001 syllabus. I previewed the 4th grade MIF and thought that it seemed less challenging than PM- the MIF scope & sequence was behind PM and the MIF Enrichment book was a lot easier than PM Intensive Practice. I would suggest reading the previous threads comparing MIF with PM: Comparing Math in Focus, Singapore Primary Std., and Math Mammoth MM, Singapore, MIF: Which is easiest to teach?

notbefore7 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for those previous threads. My searching didn't come up with any good ones. These were great! I will have to look into Math Mammoth - never heard of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
