Crimson Wife Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I came across this book when browsing SGBox.com and was wondering if anyone was familiar with it. I'm feeling a bit panicky about the idea of teaching Discovering Math 1 without the benefit of a HIG like the Primary Math series has.

freerange Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 165 pages doesn't seem like a lot for 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candid Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I can't tell if it is the same as this: http://www.singaporemath.com/Handbook_for_Secondary_Mathematics_Teachers_p/hbsm.htm Pages match so probably so, I have not found it particularly wonderful, but if you used and liked the primary publication (greenish blue in color) then you may like it. It's more of a mind set book than a hand-holding guide. It contains ideas for motivating students, tying the math to nature, and games. If I might put a plug in for the Singapore Math forums, I would suggest asking there. Jenny, the moderator is very honest and she'll tell you her opinion if you ask for it especially if you ask about the specifics of why you would buy this book.

Crimson Wife Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 This book is a compilation of articles written by eight teachers in Singapore. It does not give lesson plans for specific levels, but gives ideas from experienced teachers. Hmm, that doesn't sound like it would be worth $31 plus shipping :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
